I have tried searching and searching and searching and can not find anything anywhere it seems like. Right now I have the all chrome front bumper on my truck :help: without foglights and am looking to purchase a front bumper assy. that is ready for paint so I can paint to match. Wondering if any of y'all have found any websites or places to purchase these items to be able to make this happen... Also any pictures let's see them!!! :thumb:

I've come across Chevy paintables on ebay, unfortunately GMC's all came with chrome fronts far as I can tell, I just paid $400 to get mine acid dipped and sandblasted just so I could get them painted :banghead:

I did think about this but only thing is as far as I can remember they didn't have work truck packages with foglights which is what I was hoping to get...

Thank you, I didn't do my bumpers luckily I picked up the truck already done (the guy had good taste).. But I got a good friend that does auto body and as long as I make the job easy for him it doesn't cost me much other than normal consumables to paint

Have the bumper wrapped. My truck is the same color as yours and that is what I am looking at doing. I am just doing the end caps though. I am looking at doing a two tone with the wrap as well.

One of my ends is scraped up a little. The place I am talking to said it would cover up no problem. Saves me having to buy a new one.

As far as buying fog light end caps, look at LMC truck. You can get everything for the swap from them. They are local to me and I have had great luck with any product I have bought from them.

I looked on LMC truck and the only thing I could find for primered for paint was the actual front middle part... The end caps they are only showing in chrome... :mad:

Correct, you will have to buy chrome and either remove chrome and paint or wrap. Wrap I think is going to be the easiest and cheapest way.
