I'd leave them chrome, ties together your existing chrome (running boards, door handles, badges)

Can't wait to see the finished product though!

I want to get rid of the steps, but unfortunately, I can't get into the truck without them. I'd like to eventually tie all the chrome into white. But that'll take a while.

Place in Memphis was only $100 per bumper, but it's a 2 hour drive each way, and I'd have to make 2 trips.

Place in Little Rock where I'm getting it done is charging $150/bumper. But it's a mom-and-pop shop, which I like supporting more, and they're great people, and close. So it's worth the little bit extra! They sandblast/declad, finish, and powdercoat all for that price, so not bad. Way cheaper than paint, and it's much more durable.

Can't wait to drop them off tomorrow!

Awesome man, I'm really tempted to get mine done. Gotta see what's around me and what the price range will be. For some reason I think it's gonna be quite a bit more, must be a Texas thing lol

I honestly thought Arkansas would be more expensive too, as there's hardly any performance/custom shops here. I was pleasantly surprised.

Well I hope you can find a good deal. You can always quote prices from other shops, and try to haggle for a good price. Let me know if you do it, as I think it would look great!!!

I think I'll start getting serious about it after I get my black wheels. Then that leaves me to figure out what to do with the chrome on the grill. I have the black honeycomb insert, but chrome trim

So are they able to exact paint code match the white powder coat or just use the closest white they have?

No, they can't match by paint code. They have like 15 different shades of white, 4 of which looked just like the color. So they just match it by looks. They can't mix colors to change shade, but they can add things to make them more/less shiny, or order different color shades if they don't have what you want. I just defered to his judgment, and he said they'd match very we'll, so I'm happy.

Rear bumper : easy!

Front bumper : ...Aaarrgh!

I can walk you thought it, as it took me about 4 hours, to figure out the best way.

Yeah I looked for a few minutes and could tell that front one wasn't going to be fun. When I get ready to do mine ill reach out to you for some help.
