Anyone use this bumper trim instead of replacing with an LTZ bumper?

Found these 2 options for the trim on the rear bumper. I dont' want to replace teh bumper and pad just to get the LTZ trim piece.
This one is stainless steel and sticks on

This one is just body trim, cut to fit.

Anyone here try either of these?

I had it on the Hybrid before I upgraded the bumper:

It's alright as a short term solution, but you can tell it's a stick on piece up close.

The top one in your pics seems like a little higher quality.

I'm considering the stainless steel one. The chrome plated plasitc one on the bottom doesn't look as good in the pics. It's about an 1/8" thick and there is a 1" stainless piece to go ontop of the door moldings in another threaded I posted. Still up in the air about it.

SoulSea, which one did you have the top or bottom one? Any pics of the install?

It was neither of those two ... it was a random ebay sale and the strip was about an inch too long so I cut it to size with an exacto knife. Install is very basic: clean surface, stick it on straight, cut any extra sticking out, done.

I bought some online with pictures similar to the pics you posted for my Tahoe a while back. I got it in the mail and it was a roll of stick on chrome. Within a few weeks the sides were peeling off......... Needless to say I ripped it off, saved up some cash, and individually hunted down all the parts for an 07+ Esky/Denali rear bumper cover assembly.
