Fab Fours makes the bumper. I've been tossing around the idea of getting a front and rear bumper myself, if I had the money.

Thanks for all the opinions guys. It seems most prefer a color match. I suppose that would look pretty good but.... not what i'm gonna do.

The bumper already has a very tough powder coat on it so, there's no need for any other type of coating. It's fairly none slip as-is.

I think what i'm gonna do is, make a black diamond plate to cover the entire top of the bumper and hitch area, welded on with some pretty bead. I may put some silver diamond plate in the holes ( steps ) on the ends of the bumper.

The rear end of the truck is the working end anyway so IMO, if it looks a little rugged that's ok. The front not matching isn't too big a deal. You really can't see them both at the same time anyway ;-) I think you guys will agree when it's done. :-)

I REALLY like the black bumper as is, however I think it would look AWESOME with just a touch of chrome. Perhaps some chrome hooks or something hanging from those tabs, and maybe a chrome piece cut out for the bumper top and below the plate. I dunno ... just a touch of chrome, not much.

You know.....the more I look at the pics, the more I like the black. I'm starting to lean towards the 'leave it as is.'

Triton, As I mentioned earlier, slight contrast can compliment the major color.
Just my opinion, guess I've seen too many "ethnic" attempts of graphic design here in the south.
As with your ride, it would be a head turner either way you decide.
And, thank you for allowing all of us an opinion in such a decision.
