use photobucket and copy the code for one...if its a black painted or flat black bumper you could have it painted its the chrome parts that are hard to paint alot of people are powder coating them and having luck with it.....its a def move for me....

the guy i was going to get to paint for me said i should buy one from a 2008 and he will paint it. he said it wont be very glossy because the black one is textured. what do you guys think, and maybe a part number?

That is on one of the lower packages. As you get into the newer models, it seems that more of them have black bumpers even in an SLT package. What package is your truck? And you should definitely color match your bumper.

Yep, that black just doesn't go with the color of your truck, I'd paint it. I don't think it's such a big deal that it's not glossy, just the matching color would be a big improvement.
