I was wondering if its possible to get a set of mineral grey bumpers to replace my stock chrome ones on my outdoorsman. Where could I find a set? Also what would be the process for replacing them. And would the fog lights still work or would I need an adapter. Lining up the tow hooks also.

Any advise would be great.

You might be able to find some at a scrap yard, or you could always buy some from a dealer. If the bumpers you get are from a 2009-2012 you won't have an issue with the fog lights. In 13 they went to a different fog light so that bumper wouldn't work for you.

You may be better getting your chrome bumpers stripped and painted - you'll need to replace the whole bumper assembly for the sport style bumper, including the bumper carrier etc... - $$$$

You could possibly try to find a close match of Vinyl Wrap and wrap the bumper. I just wrapped my chrome bumper, looks amazing and you can barely tell the difference. Mine however was easier to match cause it is white.

You think you could share some pics of your wrapped bumpers? Thinking of doing mine since it's white as well.

Does anybody have any rough idea how much a shop would charge to strip the bumpers and 're paint them? I'm assuming most shops would be able to do the mineral grey colour.
