SS Bumper Cover or Painted Bumper Cap - Pics Inside
I'm trying to make my decision on whether I should get a paintable bumper cap or if I should go ahead and paint and install my SS bumper. I bought it thinking I wanted it, then changed my mind thinking I wanted more of a stock look with a few touches. (i.e. 22's, Escalade door handles, clear corners, stereo, etc.) I've now gone to the point where I am having the roof rack shaved, running boards, rear bumper and D pillars color matched and I just bought a 2/3 lowering kit last week. Needless to say, I now have another full scale project on my hands.
I've gone back and forth on this and thought I decided on the paint to match bumper cap, until I saw this picture, and now I'm having second thoughts.
I'm a bit concerned that if I put the SS bumper on that I'll destroy my paint on it since it's my DD. I also sorta like the look of the mostly chrome front because I feel like it sets of the chrome rims and door handles I have it it. If I do it, it will most likely look something like this. It's close to the same color as mine.
What do you guys think? I'd be keeping the factory chrome grille with my speed grille and billet bowtie in it with either choice. I'd also be installing the speed grills in the SS bumper if I put it on. Need some advice here!
