Mod Progress and Question

Since I have never shown my truck, now that I need some help, I figured it would be helpful to show where it came from and where it is now:
Please bear with me. These are cell phone pics and I don't know what I'm doing.

Before:


After:






Mods so far:
Tinted front windows to match privacy glass
Black Brush Guard
Hell Bent Steel 2 inch leveling kit
Blacked out badges and steps
Patriot decal Emblems and Inlays
Hankook MTs 285/70-17
Hella Headlights with Chrome Turn Bulbs
Sportsman Camo Seatcovers with Weathertech Floormats
XLT Console with Ipod PIE adapter in it
Stubby Antenna


My question is this: I hate the chrome bumpers, but don't have the money to spend on buying PTM ones and then getting them painted on top of that. I am looking at trading for XL bumpers, can anyone photoshop that for me? And would it be possible to do it with and without the brush guard? Hope you guys like the truck. Thanks to gr8hunter for the advice, and all of you for the ideas. I am new to this, but really like how it looks right now. Eventually I will either get black wheels or just paint the ones on it, but for now, the bumpers are the next step.

After looking at the crappy quality of the pics, I realize I need to wash it and take some with a camera. Will try to do in the next few days so that it may be easier to see how it looks and to photoshop it.

a few more pics

although they are still cell phone pics, here are a few more. Also, if you are going to photoshop, I have found someone who could powdercoat the bumpers in my area, so if you could also do the bumpers black with and without the brush guard, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Nice truck, Look into a local powdercoating shop. You could probably have both of them done for under 250$ Colormatched or black to go with your bars and steps.

Truck is coming along nicely! If you want PTM bumpers, don't settle for XL ones. I just PTM'd mine, myself. Just be patient and prep the bumper right and get a good clear coat on and they can look OEM.
