Truck looks great! I too am looking to ditch the chrome on my Big Horn. Did you wrap or Plasti Dip the bumpers?

Thanks
Ryan

It's wrapped right now and I did an ok job of it. I ordered Plasti dip and will do that instead. 2 cans of white per bumper and 1 can of glossier should do it

As for the grill I'm going to factory paint it white and remove the vinyl as well

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Where did you get the vinyl?

How much did you need? I would keep the vinyl instead of plastic dip. It will never look as good as that. I mean from the pictures it looks like a great match and can't really see the imperfections. Plasti-dip won't come close to it. I might have to purchase that vinyl and do it cause I hate my chrome bumpers!!

I'm a little ocd and it's bugging me. White Plasti dip on heavy with glossier will still look good. Eventually I'll buy aftermarket bumpers. I bought 20ft by 5ft and I had plenty to do both bumpers grill and door handles

Ended up changing the look of the truck again. Vinyl looked ok from a distance but up close you can tell it wasnt done professionally and I wasnt going to pay someone about $600 to do it professionally. Ended up Plasti dipping the bumpers bought new style grill and had it painted to factory color. Bought new rims MB Wheels TKO 20X9 offset 18 and Cooper ATP 275x60x20 Tires

Looks nice! Just out of curiosity can I ask why you just didn't buy a Sport trim if you wanted color matching? Where I am there's not really any difference in price between a Big Horn package and a Sport
