i guess i see what you're saying, but hell...i haven't yet seen a v6 truck anywhere with a bumper kit on the front of it...no joke.

and, basically you're paying to difference between the stock replacement and a newer more badazz cover...cause you're gonna need to buy the orinigal bumper in the first place =)

so yea, just go for it.

and will a bumper cover work? i don't know...it covers it, so just bust out a sledge hammer =)

Ha ha. Thats an idea. But I don't wanna eff up everything. It already looks like crap. I'm worried i'll get the cover and then it won't even go on, it'll be a POS etc. I wish they had pics or something of an installation of a bumper cover on a ram.

Why not beat the bumper into submission to get the right shape then slap the nice cover over it?
