Default Trade my chrome or buy your Tux Black bumpers

Looking to trade my 2011 chrome bumpers for your tuxedo black bumpers. In great condition.

I would also buy a set should someone have them for sale. LMK thanks

This goes for the Grill as well. I have the 6 bar chrome grill.

Good luck with that one! Just in case I'll give ya another option you might already know about but it took me 2 hours and if I want to sell it one day someone can have chrome again. Either way good luck!

It takes about an hour and a half to remove the front and rear bumpers and pop all the plastics and sensors off. It shouldn't cost more than $150 to get them powdercoated. Then it takes half the time to pop the plastics and sensors back on and finish installing. Just an idea, did this on my truck as it too came with chrome bumpers.

Yeah i have a guy at work that will do it for me, my only concern is that I have tuxedo black paint... How will this look next to glass black powder coating?

A powdercoater should have a stack of metal samples with all the various colors they carry. You would take all the samples of black and take it out to your truck in direct sunlight and match the closest one. A properly matched gloss black with your oem paint finish will be indifferent.
