I replaced the plastic trim on front bumper with new pieces (old ones were held on with drywall screws). I repainted the gray lower piece black. I used bedliner on the rear bumper trim.

It really doesn't look too good without the plastic...

I think LMC truck makes chrome pieces that replaces the plastic

you can reattach the plastic with a generous amount of silicone caulk. tape it down tight with duct tape until it dries.
