What do I need, regarding parts, to put a Silverado SS rear bumper cover on the rear bumper of my 2004 Z71? LMC looks like the place to go when it comes time to order. Any other place to get the needed parts that anyone can think of?

Gonna look extremely BULKY and oversize without the proper SS side cladding to match the bumper.

My front & rear bumpers are chrome on my Z-71. Do you just paint over the chrome?

The chrome has to be prepped - a reputable paint shop should know how to perform the proper prep for doing such.

When I did mine, I purchased paintable bumpers (they come in silver) and had them painted. See here.
