Default Bumpers and grille trade

I got a 13 ecoboost 4x4 and have chrome bumpers and grille with no damage. I'm wanting to put either black bumpers and grille or white bumpers and grille. Wondering if anyone wanted chrome or maybe just a bogus question lol. Also if anyone knows if the xlt bumper will interchange with fx4. Thanks!

The parts are interchangeable between an XLT and FX4. I bought a painted front bumper which I plan to have PTM my truck. Rear bumpers are also in the plans...may be a difficult to find a trade but good luck. I bought a PTM grill off eBay for $300 and they have them every now and then. Hope this helps...here is a link for a PTM GRILL

Plasti-Dip is a spray on coating you can DIY. The good thing is if you don't like you can peel it off. The bad thing is it will need to be recoated somewhere down the road.

Plastidip is a sprayable coating that comes in a variety of colors. It's nice because it's easily removable if you don't like it, and it should last 3 or more years. It's cheap a bumper should only need one 6$ can.

For more info Google it, a popular site is dipyourCar.com check them out.
