I installed a black rear bumper on my truck yesterday. What do you think? It's an aftermarket bumper, so the fit and finish isn't OEM quality but I still think it looks outstanding. I would describe the paint as semi-gloss. It's not like the paint on the truck but it's not flat. I also added a picture of the front of my truck. Do you think a matching black front bumper would look good too? Thanks for looking.





Here's a pic of the front:



I almost forgot to ask, does anyone know how to remove the cover for the spare tire tube on the rear bumper. I'm trying to remove it off my stock chrome bumper but I'm having trouble. Thanks!!

 

i like it looks awesome where did you get it??

 

I think it looks awesome, and yes, a matched front bumper or even an SS bumper cover would definitely finish it off IMO. I really want to color match my bumpers, grille, mirror caps, etc also...just dont have the $$ right now.

 

...and did it come pre-painted?

 

looks killer

to what budhayes said

i think if you just scraped the chrome and got a black one it would look double killer. i like the new bottom valance though on your truck, looks good wit it all black

 

Maybe you can buff the finish to make it shine more, but either way it looks killer. Someday I'm getting the back bumper on my truck painted to match, I don't like roll pans. Where'd you get this bumper?

 

i think it looks fine as is. nice work

 

Thanks for the comments. I found the bumper on Ebay. Just search for Silverado rear bumper and you'll see alot of chrome and black bumpers. Yes, it even came pre-painted. I simply removed the plastic parts off the chrome bumper and installed them on the black bumper. A roll pan would have been nice but I would be worried about people rear ending me. I figured a black rear bumper would be a nice comprimise. I wonder why GM never sold Silverados with color matching bumpers??

 

I think it looks killer. The fact that it doesn't match exactly sets it off I think.

 

very awesome. Those pics are encouraging me too just paint my rear bumper instead of buying a SS rear bumper......
