Rollpan vs. Bumper

[Gannon]

So i was clearing out the garage after work moving some stuff to the shed. Needless to say I had to much in the back and drug my rollpan in the backyard ripping it half off. Debating on having my bumper painted and put back on. On the other hand thought about claiming it on insurance because the srews holding the rollpan on broke the place it was screwed on the bed. Ive looked at some pics around the site, but was wondering if some of you guys didnt mind posting some pics in here. Possibly some stepsides. Thanks

Sorry no pics here, but I say painted bumper or chrome bumper with painted plastics

Is your front end chrome or painted? I'm on my phone so can't see your sig.

If painted, paint the bumper.

If chrome, paint the plastics.

The bumper pad is painted, the middle chrome, and the bottom is just the factory plastic. Haven't really seen just the painted plastic.


Gannon approves this message.

Look at Bryant's sierra (blackedouthoe) he's the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

Painted plastic would look good imo

Those smoothed ones look awesome, but screw all that sanding

 

[James Pate]

Damn, didnt even see that. Does look good would be easier to trim them flat or electric sander. I was staring at the shaved tailgate handle

Do the stepside delete mod

I keed, I keed. My first truck was a stepside. I agree with whats posted. Put on factory bumper then colormatch plastics. Been debating the same thing with mine on if I should colormatch the chrome bumpers or leave them chrome and colormatch the plastics.

I would colormatch the chrome on your Chris, max's truck looks so sick colormatched

Decisions, decisions...../end thread jack lol

 

[Gannon]

really like this one.

Colormatched rear chrome always looks good though

Going to be hard to go wrong either way. Both look good with the factory bumper.

Word, just do what you think you will like the look of in the long run

 

[Gannon]

guess I'll have to dig it out tomorrow then. Haven't had a bumper in about 7 years.

Lol lowered trucks look best with a rear bumper imo..gives it more of a sport truck look to me

 

[Gannon]

Ye, it's something I've been thinking about doing for a while. But then again, I've also always liked the smooth look. But I aints sceeerd of change.
