2009 Sierra Front And Rear Bumpers

[Parsonsjb88]

I just bought a 2009 Sierra 1500 SLE Extended cab 4x4 z71 5.3L 4 speed, with a the front bumper pushed in and the rear right bumper cap dented from a hitch. The girl was an extremely poor driver apparently. Otherwise the truck is mint and I got an amazing price on it so the prices of replacing the bumpers was factored into the purchase price for me. However I am stuck between paying almost $500 for a front chrome bumper that is OEM quality or around $250 for ebay chrome bumpers. The rear end cap is around $200 OEM and $100 on ebay. Just wondering what people recommend purchasing and what, if anyone(s), experiences with either of these replacements was like? Thanks for everyone input in advance!

i know this thread is old but i bought both endcaps for my sierra from partstrain.com for 60 bones for both sides. if you havent changed them already i would try there. but to change at least the rear caps go out and buy some bolts and self locking nuts if i remeber right it was like 14 of them. the rear endcaps are held on by rivets you will have to drill off and i just replaced mine with bolts in case i need to change it again. you can get the bolts from just about anywhere i got mine at home depot
