No kidding, I went to a salvage yard and got a perfect fender for $44. (lmc= $200). Just need a front bumper now. apparently there is a difference in bumpers because the plastic covers off my old bumper will not snap into the new one The holes don't match up, not sure what the deal is on that.. Even so, I got it for 65 bucks still wrapped in bubble wrap. (lmc= $200-270)

Well, comparing used at $44 vs new at $200 is not that bad. LMC is high on some parts, but reasonable on others. Someone already mentioned...gotta shop around.

I just ordered new plastic trim for my front bumper from LMC. Had better prioce than other places I checked.

Did your trim come with all the hardware for the bottom piece?

I have not received it yet, but I don't think it does as the hardare is listed by individual item numbers (and prices) . The hardware on mmy bumper is all good so I did not oreder. Also, I have a couple large fastener assortment kits from autobody tool mart, so I hope I am good.

Oh, i never did look into the trim and hardware yet. Right now i'm sporting the all chrome bumper with 300 holes in it heh. I kinda like it all chrome in the front minus the big gaps and holes. I also got a set of chrome ebay headlights which are junk. They look good but only from far away. Huge gaps, crappy mounting and, you have to take them out to adjust them. I am returning them and will probably just switch to a sport setup. I'm not sure if it's because of my lift but the lighting suck. If it werent for my fog lights I wouldnt be able to see squat.

A previous owner attached the upper trim piece on with drywall screws. Looks like crap. Some people shoud NOT be allowed to work on stuff! Whoever did it needs a good beating!

I hear ya. PO of my truck needed to get into the drivers door, and it looks like they just grabbed and pulled the interior panel off. Not a single push pin spot left on the panel. Every single one was ripped off.
