Are you talking about the chrome bumper? If so, paint it to match your body. Nice looking regular Cab.

Judging by the look of his pic I'd say it's painted light grey already instead of chrome .

I'd say paint it to match the truck

they make a clear 3m film that goes over the bumper. it stops all that chipping and chit. might set you back some cash though
