Srt-10/Chrome conversion

[kust3mz]

Does anyone know if I will need any other parts besides the srt10 bumper cover to make it work on my regular 04 dodge ram with the chrome bumper or is it just plug and play so to speak,

i'm assuming it works similar to the support bumper so there would be a support bumper and support brakcets.

You need a bumper support, and the foam piece that goes between them. The fog lights are different too I believe.
So, yes, you'll need a lot more than just the cover.

Yeah, not sure. I know you DO NOT need the bumper supports and such with the sports bumper. It just goes right over the top.

Not 100% sure on the SRT, if you are dead set on doing it why not just buy the cover and try to make it work and if it doesn't buy the needed items after.

I just went with the street scene guys to much work involved lol

That is not a completely true statement. While yes you can put the sport bumper cover over the chrome bumper to eliminate buying the support bumper, it does not simply goe right over top. You have to hack up the chrome bumper to make it fit.

The other option (most people I have talked with go this route) you trim the sports bumper in the middle opening a little because it is covered with the black insert anyways. Then you have a perfectly fine chrome and 99% fine sports bumper. It looks exactly the same to the average person because the cuts are hidden.

from someone that had looked into that a few years ago...for the SRT bumper cover to fit...you must have the Sport bumper to start with. the actual metal bumper is different than the chrome one. you will need some minor nuts bolts and plastic pieces for it to fit properly.

it'll show you how easy it is to fuse the chrome bumper as a support.
