its the same thing (technically) a bumper is the cushioning part of the car protecting it in a accident, the cover is what covers the bumper. usually people just call the front and rear of cars bumpers because the typical truck didnt have a cover just a bumper

Use Bulldog, it't an adhesion promoter for new bumpers and plastic trim. If you dont your bumper paint might peel or crack with time. This product gives the primer and paint some flexability. Good luck

Reason: Been there, done it and two years later it still looks good!

Great tip, thanks! The bumpers are bad for the paint cracking over time...I'll remember this next paint time

There is a flex additive or flex agent that should be added to the paint before spraying. Whatever brand of paint you go with should carry it.

I hate how people rip you off with shipping. I ordered a kit from cali to georgia, I requested greyhound shipping. Only 80 bucks to ship a rear bumper and sideskirts. Came all wrapped up and no damage. Only difference is I had to pick it up from the greyhound station.
