Changing "LS" style bumper?

JWC111985 · 03-25-2005, 04:35 AM

I've been looking to try to find a smooth paintable front bumper, but I have an '01 LS model..you know chrome with the black stripe going across..well, all the other ones say it won't fit. Why is this? I really want to change it out.

look on ebay for a black one or an unpainted, it doesnt matter if its ls or not, it will fit, ls bumpers just have holes in em

yeah in fact most don't, my truck is an LS, all stepsides are, but mine had a black painted bumper, more often than not, the chrome bumper with the holes are on blazers, part of a special trim package that could be added on to LS vehicals

I like my black painted one that came on my LS just fine. I just wish I had the cash to fix all those damn paint chips.

So would my bumper be worth more if I'm trying to sell it?
