Default Bumper matching - I need some opinions

Just put on 35s, so I 'need' new bumpers. I really like the ARB front and the Smiitybilt XRC rear bumper/carrier.

They don't match, and I don't care for the XRC front bumper. So, what would match either one of these for the opposite end?

I went with the Hanson rear tire carrier, it attaches to the rear door hinges and you can run any rear bumper, works well and no rattles with my 35's and wheelin'.

you could always get the ARB rear bumper and install something like the OR-FAB tire carrier that attaches to the body. I have seen this setup and it looks/works great.

Can you buy the rear bumper with a raw finish and have it powder coated to match the ARB?
