Factory STX bumper vs. Aftermarket full replacement?

Im trying to decide if I should just line-x my full replacement black or just throw the factory one back on.... What do you all think? My full replacement is huge I know, but it does make my truck unique, thats what I like about it.

Don't know why but my iPad wont let me copy paste the BB Code from my album for a picture. Sorry.

X2 on the factory. The replacement doesn't fit your truck's looks at all IMO.

I can understand wanting to be unique and it sure does make your truck look unique..

But in this case id have to say go back to your OEM bumper..

I think the factory one will look better unless you are gonna lift it and put 38's on it than it may look more proportional. If you are gonna keep the truck stock height it will look better stock..

Okay, just got the replacement bumper off and oem back on! Now just need another
Project for today! Thanks for the input... I agree on the 38"s lol i put the bumper on when i leveled the front and put on 33"s i thought it would look alright but never quite looked right.
