So my 2000 Dakota SLT has this bumper on it:



Well the top has all rust spots all over it and rust around the license plate lights. I'd like to upgrade to the chrome bumper that has the plastic bumper covers on top. Are all the bumpers the same or will I need brackets to go with the new bumper? Also, what would be the best place to grab the new one? I was also considering the painted Sport bumper as well. Any downfalls to that one?

 

So does anybody have any suggestions on where I could get the rear step chrome bumper with plastic covers or even the black painted step bumper with covers? I'm just not a big fan of the Diamond step whether it's painted or chrome.

 

My advice, Line-x it. I had my front and rear bumpers coated for $110. Took them off and dropped them off so that they didn't have to tape. I will take some pics and post.

 

You should just look around your area for a aftermarket parts place that why you can save the money instead of buying a factory for the look or just look for used
I have not seen much for rear bumper in any of my magazines or searching on the web
In my area, this one place when I use to do body work we would buy from http://www.keystone-auto.com/informa...ftermarket.asp
In most cases the parts line up pretty good
