A quick question regarding bumpers.
My Gladiator lists a Premium Bumper (first picture.)
The standard Sport bumper is shown in the second picture.
I know the steel bumper is different, with the removable end pieces.
So, the question: other than the silvered trim and general appearance, is there any difference between the standard bumper and the Premium bumper?

I'd say the lack of wings from bumper to fender as well.

I think the center where the plate would go is different as well. I have the bumper on the bottom and I cannot find a bracket to mount my front plate.

Are you talking about winch place? Only the steel bumper has that.

I believe they are referring to license plates. On the bumper in the lower picture there are 2 small dimples and you screw the plate directly to the bumper. Which is why I bought an aftermarket bracket for mine since I hate poking holes in a perfectly good bumper (even if I'm probably going to replace the bumper in the not too distant future).
