I just got my 2009 black f150 xlt 4x4 today. This is my first truck and i love it so far but the grille is black and I'm going to get black rims soon so I want to get black bumpers. I have seen many posts about people painting their crome bumpers black but id like to avoid that if possible. Where can I get normal black bumpers for my truck? If anyone wants to trade or sell, I'm located in south Florida and I'm willing to travel anywhere in Florida to meet. Thanks

You could plasti dip the bumpers. It's not permanent, so you could run it until you find black bumpers, then peel it back off

Im looking to get that shiny look that matches te car like the fx4 bumpers. Will plasti dip give me that?

plastidip can be done glossy too. Google it.

No it will not. It's like a satin finish. There is a glossifier product for it, but I don't care to spend too much money on temporary things. You could dip it, then use a glossy clearcoat over it. Me and my buddy did that on his Chevy's back bumper, and it looks factory. If you've seen the new chevy work trucks with the all black bumpers, with the one strip of metal right under the grille, our job matches how their metal blends into the front bumper
