SS Bumper??
Have you seen many 99-02 silverados w/ the new SS front bumper? How do they look? I just smashed my front bumper and obviously need a new one. I'm thinking about putting an SS bumper on but I'm not entirely sure how it would look or if it would fit properly.

I've got a 99 Silv with the SS bumper. I think it looks good...sort of sets the truck apart a little from the other 8 billion Silvys on the road.
 I will try and post some pics today or tomorrow.

OK....last one.....I promise!!
A side view. My next mods are probably a hood, painted bedcaps. I would like to exchange my wheels for the chrome version, but crime is rampant around here and I think they would be gone in a heartbeat!

Re: SS Bumper??
nice lookin truck... but isnt that just a bumper cover? You still have the factory bumper underneith correct? I was lookin into doin almost the same thing with my front end... SS bumper cover, painted grille shell, but with speed grille inserts.

Re: SS Bumper??
Fine looking truck. I am going to go with the gen IV bumper cover and brushed speed grille inserts on mine.
Question, Red: Did you have the mirror caps painted or did you replace them with painted ones?

Re: SS Bumper??
The painted mirror caps are smooth. I found a guy I work with that had the textured black caps on his black Suburban and did a straight trade. I think the textured look better than the painted version as the painted add more visual distraction. Just my
 worth.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yup, the bumper is covered by the SS bumper cover. I was pretty happy with the fit though.....it looks like the truck came that way unless you knew otherwise. It is a street scene cover. Some people leave the 2 intake areas grey, but I decided on all black.
The caddy handles and painted mirror caps I got from: streetinspiredkustoms.com They have some neat stuff there and it has been good quality too! I got some feedback that alot of people think I should take off the SS emblems, drop the truck 2-4, put on tinted 03 taillights, and add an HD hood. Man, the mods never end, huh?!!

Re: SS Bumper??
hey Red, did you just paint your existing grill shell or did you grab one off a taho or something?

Well,
I couldn't paint the chrome shell as I was told it would come out looking bad. So, I went on ebay and got a black shell (I think it was off a Tahoe?) and had it painted. The paint isn't perfect on the shell (it was a textured black and I think it required a special primer), but overall I'm happy with it. Now I guess I have to sell my chrome one or junk it.

Re: SS Bumper??
