Default Front bumper, I need one.

Alright, after getting the truck back from the body shop we noticed a crack in the front bumper which is slowly growing, took it back and they're going to replace it but I really want to get a painted front bumper instead of the grey plastic one. Unfortunately it would cost me way too much to get through the body shop and have painted. So do any of you guys know a good place to get a black or patriot blue painted front bumper w/o the chrome strip? All I've been able to find is the primered one which I would still have to get painted. If anyone's selling a used one in good shape even better

The plai primer one shouldn't be vevry expensive, i think i have been quoted 130-160 for the cover, I know paint is the expensive part but i think it shouldn't be too awful.

Maybe paint it yourself with the autocolor paint? I have been thinking about doing it but am worried about how hard it would be.

Good luck with that man, I tried to find a place online that sells already painted parts for our trucks.

Check out this sitehttp://newmoparparts.com/mopar-parts.htm.
I got my grille from this site cheap. And the paint matched perfectly.
They are about the cheapest I found when i need a part.
Hope this helps man.

When you place your order, you have to make a call to the dealership before they complete it. When you give them a call they will ask for your trucks vin#. They get the paint code from that. What I did was find a Black Sport for my year on autotrader and used that vin. So the grille now matches the truck, i didnt really like the chrome one.

You make a call to the people that run the website you mean?

Yes, but the people running the site is a dealership I believe. I dont know how one dealer is cheaper than the rest, but thats the way it seems. Maybee they are a parts HUB or something. But yea the guy I ended up talking to was in the Parts Department for Allen Samuels Dodge i think.
