Looks awesome the way it is! I actually love what you did to the grille, it makes the c clamp grille tolerable.

I would do the PTM bumpers.. the front and back emblems, the side emblem, and whats left of the grill will just be the touch of chrome that matches the wheels to the body.

I painted my bumpers on my XLT and I believe it instantly makes it look like a higher end truck. I wouldn't change it

I see several people on here PTM the chrome grill surround and even the bumpers. Anything special need to be done to prep these? I want to make sure the body guy I use is up to speed on how to do this.

I would black out the 2 bars on the grille and call it done. Looks great as is too.

[MENTION=75690]mbullock[/MENTION] made a great thread about this.. it's pretty much the same method I've been using for years, and I've never had a painted bumper peel or anything. Maybe he'll hone in with a link
