Well i just got done installing my new PTM front and rear bumpers. I also got PTM mirror caps for my tow mirrors.. Still waiting on the new grille to get done at paint. I finished the install today while battling the rain outside. I love the new look, can't wait for the grille..

If anyone is interested in some chrome for there 09' or 10, just let me know..

Nice! Just how they should have come from the factory!

 

Agreed. I think that we should have a choice when building a truck what type of bumpers we want. It can't be that hard to swap chrome for paint when it's rolling down the assembly line!!

 

i don't think any of the newer trucks from 04 and up look good with chrome bumpers

ptm is the way to go
i do like the chrome grill tho

 

Looks really good, nice work

 

Definitely! One of the reasons I didn't go for the Lariat because you couldn't get the monochromatic paint scheme with PTM bumpers.

 

Looks real good man, cant wait till I get mine painted in a couple weeks.

 

I think I want to do this to my Lariat soon. Where did you get the new bumpers and how much $$ into the two bumpers plus paint?

 

Well i ordered all of my parts through Tasca. Unfortunately they sent me the wrong rear bumpers!! I have the reverse sensors on the rear and they sent me the rear bumper without the sensor holes. Luckily i have a buddy that owns a hot rod shop. I have been going there for quite some time and he has helped me with my 68' Nova before... Needless to say we drilled and notched the holes last night to make it work. Had to be SUPER careful since the items were shipped straight from Tasca to paint!

The following is the information for the parts i ordered. I would recommend you give the last 8 of your vin to Tasca and have them get your replacement PTM parts that way.

Paint was not that bad since i have been restoring a 68' Nova and been going to the same place for all my work.. Getting the bumpers painted, (1) Front and the (2) Piece rear bumper should not be that bad!

 

I wish I could buy your crome bumps off ya, mine on the rear is all chipped on the outside edges from rocks and I dont even drive on dirt roads. Thought if I switched to crome it wont be such a hassel even though the painted ones look awesome,they are hard to keep looking mint up here in the winter.

 

Does 3M Protective Film work in your environment?

How much for your chrome front bumper? Are you including the fog lights? Lastly how would you ship it? You can PM me if you want I am interested. Thx!

 

I might be interested in the grille, what do you want for it?

 

How much do you want for the chrome mirror caps. How are they applied? 3m tape?

 

They are snap-ons....you need to remove the old ones first.
