All I think you would need besides the bumper is the upper balance piece

sounds like a stupid question...but why would you want to swap to the chrome??

I would paint the chrome color matched ...just like the look better .

man, post something up on craigslist and I bet you could get a nice deal plus cash for it. If you were up here in STL I would have it now!

You need all the supports as they are different between the sport and metal bumpers

No he doesn't. He has the sport number and wants the chrome

I believe he still has to change the supports to go from the sport to chrome

oh, i didn't think there was special supports for the chrome. Of course if he finds somebody to swap him it won't be an issue...LOL

Well more like the sport has special supports that might not fit with the chrome bumper. And yeah that's true lol. Hopefully they can do a side by side swap lol

I want an SLT front bumper as well. I want to ultimately end up with the N-Fab front bumper, which works off the SLT bumper, not the Sport.

I think it would be more worth your while to swap bumpers with someone. That way you wont have to buy anything new, and the other guy will prolly be pretty damn happy to help. Keep looking, you'll find someone.
