Default Front Bumper Cap Question

Did some research but couldn't find anything. Was wondering if some else could enlighten me.
So here it goes. I have an Xlt with an all chrome bumper and want to add the caps to make it look like a paltinum bumper. I know the bumpers aren't the same, just hoping someone tried this and had success in retrofitting.

I have this



Want it to look like this



Thanks in advance

Pretty sure you can do it. Just don't know how many componuts you'll have to buy, the whole bumper with the end caps or just the end caps as there are two different bumpers. Check this page out and then call Tasca (or your dealer) and tell them what you want to do.

This is my next mod. Other than the bumpers and end caps which I already have in my cart. Any hardware that I need to add such as retaining clips, bolts, etc.,

If you have the fully chrome or painted bumper you cannot put the end caps on it - the carcass is different. There are a couple of dozen holes that would need to be put in it and some other spots cut out.
So I guess anything is possible but is it worth the risk and time it would take?

your right and I did buy the new bumper to go with end caps, but I was asking if there is any new hardware I also need to purchase?

I bought some vinyl for my '17 XL, this pic is when I was testing out doing just the caps before attempting to do the entire front bumper.

Would love to add the black center piece to my sport package lariat that the 2015-2016 used to have.
