Does anyone know where I can find color matched pieces so the bumper and rest of the front end will be the same color as the truck, or if I cannot but them how I would go about doing this? I have seen trucks like this before, I just do not know where or how I would go about doing it. Thank you.

Hey Future i heard that it is possible to put the chevy SS front bumper on the HD im not sure it was such a reliable source, but maybe some other forum members have some input? I too am looking for a good way to get that monochromatic look!!!!

Thanks, Chris

I really do like that look. I know the banks sidewinder all-terrain truck has it done and it looks awesome...let me know if anyone knows where to get the front or rear bumper, grill and valence that holds the fog lights.

Had the body shop paint the top bumper pad and lower valance. A little primer and paint go a long way. They didn't smooth the bumber or lower valance first.]

That is VERY NICE!

Did you just have everything painted, or did you change to a WT grill or what?

And what about the rear?

Painted rear bumper and what lower valence?

Thanks!!

I went to several different body shops for quotes and some were alot cheaper than others for painting the bumper. But if your gonna do it, make sure you sand the texturized parts down smooth so the paint will stick. If you search a little bit you should be able to find how to do the job yourself...

Had mine does as well. Forget the cost. Except now I have a different front bumper.

Thanks:)

I got the WT grille, took it apart, sanded it and had it painted, then put it back together.

The front bumper was dechromed and painted.

The rear bumper is a modified Yukon Denali bumper with the lower valance and spare tire lock cap sanded and painted...
