Infantry,

Any pics of the truck? I know that grille would look sweet on my DSG (actually have seen that grille on one here) but I dunno what colors your truck is.

Not sure what painting over chrome would cost. Cost me a bit over 1200 to paint my old trucks' XL bumpers from the work truck grey to PTM.

But, if you want black, you could do your bumpers and rocker panels with black linex.

With the grille, it'd only look good with a PTM surround. Otherwise, it'll make the truck look cheap.

PTM = Paint to match

There is a thread around here somewhere with a break down of all the acronyms that people on this site use.
