My front bumper is fading quite a bit on the top. I assume I can't restore it with the plastic restore stuff that people have used for the trim. Is it easier to just replace with a stock bumper cover and / or ARB bumper? Looks like a new unpainted bumper cover is $150 online. Any tips are much appreciated.

I had both bumper covers refinished along with the sideview mirrors back in JUL'21 for ~$265.00 by a small shop in the Fredericksburg, VA area.

Get some estimates on the repaint, you may be shocked on how much it costs.

Then you can decide if it is worth going to an ARB. Personally I prefer the ARB even over a nice stock bumper.

Oh wow that’s affordable. I’ll ask the shop where I’m getting the hood and roof resprayed as they were reasonable for that.

Has anyone refinished or replaced the plastic around the door handles? Mine are pretty faded.
