installing sport bumper cover over slt chrome bumper

[HemiMax05]

I just bought a sport bumper cover for a steal yesterday for 50 bucks on craigslist. My truck is an slt with the chrome bumper and need help on what i need to install the sport bumper cover. Ive heard that it clips right on and also that it needs other parts to bolt on. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Found this for you on a quick search, sounds like it should work


the bumper cover will fit over the chrome and doesn't need the sport beam to be installed. i've put them on two rams so far.


1 - remove and save the 4 torx bolts (2 on each side) that hold the top cover on. remove the cover
2 - remove the botttom plastic air dam - 5 10mm bolts from inside the bumper
3 - remove fog light bezels
4 - scuff the chrome bumper in the middle piece (where the license plate holes are) from fog light to fog light as well as the chrome end caps in the inner fender well.
5 - paint where you just scuffed flat black - i used rattle can hi-temp bbq paint
6 - attach retainer to top of chrome bumper - all the holes line up perfectly
7 - test fit bumper cover, place the 5 pins through the top of the cover and retainer on the end caps snug the top torx screw you removed earlier through the top hole in the cover - it lines up perfectly.
8 on each side push the cover in slightly - through the second hole down mark the chrome bumper to be drilled
9 remove cover
10 on the inner fender well where the 2 torx bolts came from - remove the bottom metal threaded clip place the clip on the chrome bumper where you just marked. through the center of the clip punch a dimple - remove clip and drill a 5/16-3/8 hole - place clips over holes
11 put cover back on truck - put the 5 pins in and this time tighten them. on the end caps put the torx bolts in and tighten
12 stand back and enjoy

thanks, ima copy n print the steps to use for when try to do the install. Needed to make sure before i send it to get painted. Hopefully this works out and wont be so complicated.

its not hard at all, i cut up a sport bumper and put it on my 06 slt bumper

Can you explain what exactly you had to "cut up" ? I've been interested in doing this too.

how do fog lights work?

i cut up a sport bumper to look like a laramie, is that what your talking about?

I used these instructions and it was easy and looks great!. Thanks I am adding a lower billet grill in black I also had the door handles, mirror covers and rear bumper painted as well.

I did the same thing with my street scene bumper. all i basically did was remove every plastic piece and the street scene bumper just fit right over the chrome. fog lights are attached to the chrome bumper from the inside so youll be fine there. give it a test fit before you get it painted

Will this work the same on a 2014? I have the chrome bumper and want the sport bumper
