Smooth Front Bumper

[White92]

I decided to smooth out my front bumper instead of buying one from LMC. Last time I ordered one from them it showed up with dents and the primer they used was awful. So, I just welded up all the holes for the trim, ground off all the chrome, applied some adhesion promoter, and sprayed it with an epoxy primer. I'll paint it to match the truck next, along with valance.

I thought about doing this. It looks really good. Good job

Thanks! I really like the smooth look on the front bumper. The more I look at it, the more I want to narrow it and tuck it closer to the fenders.

I would really like to do this to my truck someday, all blue bumpers.

Nice work. I will say though I've bought 3 paintable smoothie bumpers (but with the Tahoe Limited/"diesel" holes) and they all fit pretty well. Can't argue on the primer the mfgr uses; I'm sure it's bottom of the barrel stuff..

There was a truck I saw maybe on FSC years ago where they eliminated the filler strip and corner pieces, tucking the bumper in, and it looked pretty sharp. Also looked like a lot of work! Probably best reserved for a show truck as one little tap and you're gonna mess up grille, fenders, etc.

This is what the bumper looks like all painted and installed on the truck.

Now you need a white grille.
