Check around on your local craigslist, there might be wrecked trucks that are parted out, etc

No need for the brackets. You can trim the inner pieces of the cover (the area in the middle that will be covered by an insert).

BUy this and the insert and be done.

You will do some trimming to the cover to get it to work over top of your chrome bumper. Then you just have to figure out how to attach it. Shouldn't be hard though

Yeah but I want the one that comes factory on the sport models rather than one that just covers the one on it now

it would be the one that comes factory. The sport bumper is basically a plastic cover overtop of an unfinished steel bumper(support bumper)

I believe it gets rather expensive to buy the sport bumper shell and all the support stuff, that is why a lot of people will hack up their chrome bumper or trim the sport bumper shell to make it work.

Yes the upper part comes off the chrome bumper becomes your support.

In the first pic I posted it shows what he trimmed on each side of opening above the license plate.
