These last few years I've really starting liking the PTM bumpers. My buddy had a Red 2012 Ram with PTM everything and it was nice! I told myself my next truck would have PTM everything. And wouldn't you know it, I bought a chrome appearance package truck haha. I love it though. I'm currently working on toning down the chrome though, started by buying the sport grille. I'll eventually paint the door handles oxford white, but I think I'll leave the bumpers chrome. We'll see...
My 2009 XLT had the chrome package but I decided to do things a little different on the 2015 with a little less chrome . Black Ford Step Bars. 17 inch Raptor wheels for Summer, 18 inch Sport wheels for winter.
Sport package. Just traded my 14 xlt ruby red chrome pkg in for 2016 xlt sport/fx4 in black. Every woman I know says its sexy,much better than your old one. Plus the interior is much nicer. I belive the chrome has become a dated look. plus the chrome isn't realy chrome any more.
NICE JOB!!
HUGE IMPROVEMENT vs the original painting configuration.
The 2 painted "wings" on the original lower bumper looked RIDICULOUS!!!
Painting the middle of the lower bumper makes the black grill POP.
Can I ask where you got the paint for the bumper? I have the same truck and hate the current look but yours looks nice. Also, what type of paint did you use for the grill and did you just paint the 3 larger horizontal bars?
I think both can look great if you build them out accordingly. I bought a sport pkg and have been running with that look and I really like it, but if you went with chrome all around I have seen some awesome builds that way as well. I think you just have to commit towards one theme or the other and either can be a great look.
