My vehicle came into my possession without any bumpers. Now, I am looking into selecting bumpers for my vehicle.

Question? - Would you recommend Stainless Steel or Chrome bumpers?

Thank you,

Couple of things; originals were chrome, but depending on your location, chrome shops are becoming scarce and increasingly expensive for quality work due to environmental reg's, materials, etc. You may want to check the quality of stainless from vendors, but stainless can be filed, sanded and polished if scratched similar to headlamps and rad. shells, etc. The lustre is different between the two.

I have stainless bumpers. They were sanded and polished before assembly and installing

The stainless bumper I bought from Little Dearborn is great.

Rember that the rear bumpers are different from other rear bumpers.
