I would have but they only offered brushed aluminum or chrome. I wanted them darker so I just got them painted gunmetal while the truck was in the shop.

I say paint the whole thing red and black the grill insert, I like seeing my bumper painted better than the regular chrome bumpers so as long as you get a good paint job I think you'll be happy with it, mine came from the factory that way tho so I could see how it might be a lil risky if your gunna be happy with it, specially when gettin a new one would be pretty pricey

So the black chrome wasnt very dark?

and yes exactly on what you said MASS-HOE, just a lil too risky but I might end up doin it anyway but thats still a long way off. I just like having ample time to mull it over.

I didn't even bother asking for the black chrome. I ended up changing my mind and went with the gunmetal instead of the black chrome.

and actually, the chrome is the bumper.

the black above is the "bumper cap" and the gray below is the "airdam"

i'm happy with my painted bumper. i think the ss bumper looks great, but i wish someone would design something else, like everyone that has an aftermarket bumper..it's the ss bumper. so i like mine painted, cuz the only OEM one color matched is on the 4x4's and the valance is different on those, so I like to think mine stands out
