Sid -
The aftermarket bumpers are so thin, you can
permanently bend & destroy the bumper simply by
yanking on the end of the bumper with one hand after
you've mounted them on the car. I hate them, they are
crap, literally. Even the shape at the ends is wrong.
I bought one for my BJ8 15 years ago and have
regretted it ever since. Even the license plate
mounts are screwed up, they have metric nuts on them.
I know it's expensive, but replating is a much better
option. Besides, the chrome will look a heck of alot
better.
Regards,
