Chrome the steel bumper or nah?

[pitter_patter]

I haven't looked into the cost or weight of chrome plating the front bumper, but I think the bumper is understated enough that it might look pretty sharp -- especially with a white top. White tops with black bumpers don't look right....

You'd have to get the back bumper to match, and maybe do the door handles... but be careful not go overboard, and just do little accents. Don't want it looking like a Hummer2/3. The grill is def way too big to be chrome.

Any photoshop nerds out there want to render some chrome bumpers?

Forgive my ignorance, but the bumpers are plastic with the exception of the Modular bumper, and just the bottom portion of the rear steel bumper.

The rear might look like you're imagining, but I don't think the front Modular bumper chromed is going to achieve what you're looking for.

Nah.

There is zero chrome on the bronco. Having a chrome bumper would look out of place.

Chrome on cars/trucks stopped being cool long ago. IMO

Quick and dirty mockup for you.

 

[chownd]

Absolutely not for me.

I'd love to see it if you end up doing it though!

People are going to mod these things like crazy, I'm excited to see what they come up with. I always appreciate mods no matter what. Even if I wouldn't be caught dead driving it. Can't hate too much on someone making their baby their own

Haven't thought about chroming the bumper, but have been considering chroming out the steelies on the BD when I get them

Just my opinion but, if there is a cool way to do it, wait until the aftermarket figures it out. Sending your bumper off to be chromed will be much more expensive than purchasing a knock off. Plus, you’ll be stuck with it.

Nah

why would you want to chrome plate the bumper when the REAL bling is chrome plating the pop out grill
