Default Rough Country bumper caps

Has anyone used these since they went from plastic to steel?

Do you have pics of the bumper? Does the texture and the sheen match the OEM bumper ? The plastic
ones from a couple years back were horrible. If you bought them you had to Line-X the whole bumper to get it to match!

Does the texture on the steel caps match the texture on the plastic OEM bumper? Can you post some close-up pics please.
