Im ditching the chome on my front bumper when I get a painted one. I can get an aftermarket cover with no moulding holes for $50. Or a Mopar one is $200. Still havent decided yet.

With the painted grill, which looks great, I wouldn't get the chrome strip as long as you're getting a new cover. But it will look good either way.

They are expensive! Ill probably end up throwing mine in the basment just incase I ever need to throw the old bumper on. I may even swap the gray bumper on for the winter to prevent the painted one from getting beat up.

I am thinking of trying to paint this cover...see if I like it with the chrome strip. If it holds up, I save a couple of bucks. If I don't like it with the chrome strip, I can paint over it.

Still mulling it over.....I like it with and without
