Chrome Rear Step Bumper
I sent a Dodge Ram bumper out to CA several years ago and I don't remember it being that much. Less than $20 IIRC.

engine dress up
I picked up this pair on eBay for very little. Either aluminum or magnesium from a '84 corvette. After cleaning, sanding and repaint I like 'em much better than the stamped steel that came stock.- Colin

Those are the exact '84 Corvette covers I just put on my K10. With a little imagination and painting technique they can look much better than the stock stamped steel covers that I started with.- Colin
