Other than looks (which you like, and that's all that matters) what are the supposed benefits of this bumper that make it worth buying?

Sorry.Those bumpers are hideous looking. Hard to beat Factory engineering for looks. It may be stronger but it sure is ugly.

I did it purely for looks when getting both my ADD front and rear. I don't care what anyone else thinks about my truck and the way it looks, especially those of you with floor mats as your biggest mod.

These are way heavier duty than the stock bumpers and will withstand much more abuse or impact than stock

I did it for the same reason. The looks. I actually compared this bumper to one of the ADD bumpers from a truck meet I went too. I know I'm going to get a lot of crap about it, but the quality on this bumper was actually better then the ADD. Mainly in the little details. Possibly because ADD has become so huge, they miss little things here and there. I wouldn't say huge discount, but the quality made me happy with my decision. I believe some of the Lex guys were ADD employees that branched out. Even the quality of welds were noticeable. Again, maybe the one ADD bumper i saw was an exception or coincidently i saw one that was not one of their top or usual qualities.

As far as the white, I was kind of thinking the same thing. I might go all black. Was thinking of doing some Anthracite/grey wheels. I also contemplated making the white grey. I'll probably try both out and keep the one i like best. Beauty of it, is that they unbolt and i can do whatever i want to them. I can also get some plates with no holes for a really good price from them.

All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase and will def do business with them again. As soon as my funds allow me too.....lol

Looks like a you started a custom bumper then ran out of money and just said screw it and bolted it on. Whatever floats your boat.

The "holes" are put there for a purpose. They are cut out to lighten the metal, at the same time they use a dimple die to make that notch/bevel, whatever you wanna call it. those are made to add strength to the metal.

as for those of you talking about the stock bumper, have u guys ever really gotten down and looked at the bumper? its a plastic and 2 thin metal pieces on the sides. These bumpers are by far, way stronger and better quality.

To each his own, not everyone has the same taste, I respect that. but quality wise, it goes without saying that these blow the stock bumper away.

I would be worried about the safety factor, the bumpers on our trucks as well as all the metal surrounding the "occupant egg" I'll call it, are designed to absorb the energy of a crash so our bodies don't.
