Best place to buy bumpers?

[jluv]

I plan on switching out my XLS bumpers for those from an EB or Limited. Ford wants $300+ each for the bumper covers. I found some on Ebay for around $150, but they want another $100 for shipping, and I don't know how trustworthy some of those places are.

Any suggestions on the best place to buy body parts like that?

Thanks!

Can always check a junkyard.

Or if your really good go find an X in a parking lot and jack the bumper while the owners gone.
Haha j/k

I thought about the junkyard approach, but I'd rather just get something brand new and unpainted.

I doubt your going to find anything out there from the aftermarket, your only choice is probably going to be ford for a new one. What's wrong with a used one, either way they'll need paint.

A used one with paint on it already would require more prep work, right? I like the idea of getting something in perfect shape that is paint-to-match.

Not really. Most of us painted our bumpers. Just give it a good washing and krylon it.

LMAO! No offense, but I'm not painting my vehicle with krylon. Not even if the bumpers were free.

why? Krylon works great. A lot of people had great outcomes (in fact I dont recall any negitive reviews of

That's great if it worked for some people. It's far from the look I want on my Explorer. I guess it would be okay for a rugged look or on a trail truck, but my truck is more of a street truck. It's slammed and customized inside and out, and needs to be show worthy, even magazine worthy. Any paint will be done right. Painting textured, unprepped body panels with a rattle can is way, way out of the question. I want all of my panels to have the same finish as the rest of the truck.
