Front Bumper Replacement
Hey guys, what is up? I am a newbie and have a question.
I have a 2003 Ram 1500 and I am interested in buying the paintable urethane front bumper covers that are usually found on the sport models. I have the stock ST chrome bumper and was wondering if I could fit that bumper on my truck and if so, is there anything special I need to buy? The pictures I have are what I want to install if it helps. Thanks for your help.

RE: Front Bumper Replacement
Is that the actual Dodge sport model bumper?
If so, my understanding is that the sport model trucks have a different type of frame mount for their bumpers. They won't fit without modifying that mount. And I believe all that's involved is purchasing some specific type of brackets.
Other than that, I believe aftermarket bumper covers (Street Scene, Xenon, etc.) fit perfectly over the stock split chrome/painted front bumper.
