Default Slt sport front bumper question

Hi, I just bought an 05 ram that is all white. I mean white everything....bumper, mirrors, door handles, everything. I want to break it up a little. I want to switch it to a chrome steel bumper, with the white upper plastic piece. Will the standard chrome bumper fit? Is the sport package compatible? Thanks for any help!

where are you located? there are probably quite a few guys on here with the chrome bumper that will trade you for yours..
if you trade the WHOLE bumper it will fit... if you dont then i dont think it will because the sport is a cover over the chrome...

I'm pretty sure the metal bumper behind the sport valence is different than the SLT one. What color is the truck? If the truck is white I say leave the bumper, most of us on here are against chrome except for a few (cough cough Hammer lol) post a few pics up of your baby and let us see her.

edit : I'm one of those that would be willing to trade

If you plan on keeping the stock wheels the chrome SLT would look good imo, I would be willin to trade ya mine but I do have a small dent in the bumper plus shipping would be outrageous prolly. You would also have to have the bumper valence painted either black like ya said or to match your white.

edit: shhh nim lol I might have something goin here.
