So I have been pondering for a while on which way to go and now I'm not sure so I thought I would ask ya! I bought a joe Gibbs bumper to put on my truck and paint to match it. Since i dropped it im a little worried i will end up tearing it off or mess it up since the center hangs down further than the rest. But then I thought I would just sell it and paint the top and bottom to match and leave the center chrome. Then I thought about painting the the whole bumper to match. What ya think? Here are some pics toe help.



I have the 06 hood and grille to replace the old stuff with too and I'm painting the whole grille to match except the inserts.

 

Paint the cap and bumper ,then do the valance in black.Will look good with the 06 parts IMO.

 

I say go with the joe gibbs, be different. too many running the painted plastics and ss bumpers and what not.

 

Yea I have seen that and it does look pretty good. You just added to my list of options man...lol

 

This is true too! I'm glad I got my hands on that bumper even though I'm not sure if I will use it. I even bought the billet insert for it from biohazard1970. That's hard to find too.

 

I like the gibbs look, but completely understand why you are leaning away from it. Depending on how low you are, and if you plan to go any lower, I probably wouldn't use it. I think the color matched grill, cap, and bumper with the black valance will look the best. If you do any sort of inserts, black billet.

Like so, but red of course

 

^^^im thinking that's going to be my option. How are ppl going about taking the chrome off or what not? It's going down one more inch to level the front out, just got my spindles today matter of fact! It's already pretty close to curbs.

 

If you decide to sell that Gibbs bumper, hit me up. I've been thinking about adding one.

Where did you find one? They are VERY hard to come by.

 

It's for sale in the classifieds! I got it from a guy on here and your right anything for them are hard to find...like the billet insert that I have for it too.
