I love my plain solid bumper without the trim or trim holes. After I coated it with bedliner and gloss black paint, I think it looks tough! Lol I think the plain solid bumper looked more like a wrecking ball mounted to the front of the truck.
i favor the plain chrome xl bumpers. reminds me of where trucks came from. i hate all the plastic crap nowadays. when i take chrome polish and a buffer to my bumper and cruise through town i love seeing the sun reflect off my bumper onto everything.
