2000-2006 ss front bumpers for a 01 tahoe

[candyman74]

whats the best ss bumper to get? the urethane, fiberglass or that duraflex. let me know which one takes more time to prepare and paint? and if anyone has pics of the install of the bumper would be greatly apprieciated. also wheres the cheapest place to buy one i found a few on ebay.

Dont get fiberglass. Chips and cracks too easily. Urethane will last much longer. I got mine from Ebay, but you can also get them from other online sources like stylingtrucks.com, godfather customs, etc.

Yup the Urethane is the best one as it has a lot of flex qualities.

yeah check out www.stylintrucks.com and or www.spottruckdirect.com
I went with the street scene Gen 5.

ok i just got an email from a company off of ebay DuraFlex. its only 239 but with shipping it comes out to be around 414. its only 25 pounds and it is all one piece. you take your old bumper off and bolt this one on. is this a good way to go since you will be losing your accuall bumper incase of an accident. im waiting to see if they email me more pics of it like the back. its about the same price if i was to do a street scene bumper but the only thing is that this just "bolts right up".

You don't take off your bumper, just the lower valance. It goes over the original bumper

No It's a bumper COVER and does NOT replace your existing bumper.

As stated, you just remove your valance (Bottom plastic piece where your fog lights are) and this fits on top

Check out www.partstrain.com and www.autoanything.com and search on Street Scene Bumpers to maybe get a better deal on the shipping

Good luck

yeah i know the others are bumper covers im just going by what they told me. trust me i asked them and they said i take the whole factory bumper off and put this one on. ill probably stick with a street scene then. thanks for all the input

my ss bumper cover was put on AFTER they removed my factory bumper...it made it fit a little tighter and didnt leave any gaps
