Just out of curiosity, would the sport hood work with the HD grill? I would have rocked the sport hood with that set up.

looks pretty good. I wish the 1500 bumper were like this from the factory because I would love a light bar in there.

is that a shadow or is there a huge gap between the bumper and fender? just curious? if its a gap that would drive me insane.

If you mean under the headlight area, its a small gap. That's just how the HD Bumpers fit. They aren't molded to the truck body like the plastic sport bumpers.

Looks pretty cool. That 2500 front looks more bold.

Where did you get the bumper fillers? Or whatever they are called that go right under the headlights?

I've been planning on doing just the bumper swap for some time now. Just haven't been able to find those pieces. I know i can find everything else on ebay.

From my knowledge no you can't use the hood with the HD grille. Everyone that ive seen do this conversion has had to do the HD hood as well to work. This conversion is becoming pretty common now.

i will not fit hd grill is a little taller unless you want to cut the sport hood about 1 or 2 inches to get it to work i was thinking of that but did not want to ruin the hood plus the hd hood is pretty cool to i like it!!!!!!
