New or original bumper
Is there a way to tell if you have an original or reproduction bumper? Mine is chrome and it is hard to tell if it has been rechromed or if it is aftermarket.

Re: New or original bumper
The thickness of the metal and the weight on the OEMS are heavier.
A micrometer on an original would give you a thickness to compare. I don't have a mic, so maybe someone else can help here.
