So if anyone is dying to get more chrome on your truck and u have a platinum or fx2, fx4 and live in north Texas let's do it!!! Also I will trade my mint condition front and rear chrome trimmed head and tails lights for ones trimmed in black. Thank You!!

Good luck with finding someone to trade those bumpers with u. Most people buy painted bumpers because they like them and don't like chrome lol. If u can't find anybody to trade with u, u can always have ur chrome bumpers painted at a shop

Don't think you are going to get alot of takers. Essentially you are asking someone to downgrade their upgraded exterior. Do you want their matching door handles also?!! haha, Just Kidding. Good luck to you and hope someone helps you out. FYI, I dont see this trade happening without you throwing in some cash.

I've got the matching door handles and mirror skull caps. I may just have to hit the paint booth for the bumpers though.

Just get yours painted. For the cost of shipping to trade you may as well go for paint.

x2 And if u know how to do it, u can do all the prep work urself, then take it to someone to just paint it. Most of the cost of painting comes from the labor of the prep work, so if u do all of that, it'll come out to a lot cheaper

exactly. Just drive by a few paint shops for an estimate. Also, check out some of their work in the shop.

Yea I did my lariat chrome grill and I thought it looked pretty cheap. It was a nice thick even coat I had on there but it still didn't satisfy me. I'm looking at a black mesh fuel offroad grill, some gloss black fuel hostage wheels so maybe il splurge and get some fabricated front and rear bumpers. I just wanted something cheap in the meantime. Don't we all...
