Chrome Bumper Swap



I got my new leftover 09 XLT about a month ago. I already started with removing the chrome by ordering the HD/Raptor heads/tails. But my next item is the bumpers. I've seen the two tone with the color matched bumpers on a few trucks on the lot, and I'm wondering if anyone has the tan bumpers that would want to swap for chrome. The one requirement would be having backup sensors.

Thanks!

I did read it. Very informative, but I don't really have the equipment to do that. And I don't trust my rattle can abilities. I know some ppl are pros and spray can painting lol

Well here is another option that will have the look you want in no time and be super cheap, take your truck to a local tint shop and have them color match your lower panel tan color with vinyl then you can have them wrap your front and rear bumpers. We have done it at my place for people that want to see what there setup will look like before they pull the trigger and a few of those guys loved the look and the price so they just keep the vinyl.
