"Foose-like" bumper

I've always like the look (in part) of the foose trim under the bumper because it has a recessed oval for the exhaust tips. Makes for a perfect fit and finish. What I don't particulary like is that it takes a piece of fiberglass to do the job. Today I saw an 09 dodge ram and it had the perfect bumper. All steel, oval recessed on the bottom which perfectly fit exhaust tips. Anybody know of a bumper like that which will fit our trucks, or anyone think of modifying their bumper like the new ram?

It fit perfectly because it came from the factory that way.

I know it came from the factory that way...thats the point. It has the correct fit and finish. Anybody know of an aftermarket bumper like that for our trucks or has anyone tried to modify their own so that exhaust fits better.

it really wouldn't be hard to do if you have a way to cut the bumper and then weld, then grind down the welds and have the bumper re-chromed. hardest part would be centering them to get them the same on each side.
