PTM project?

Well I have decided to go in a different direction with my truck and go with ptm-ing some things and getting rid of ALL chrome! I have a couple pics and maybe you guys can play with them a little more. I got rid of the grille guard and put a nfab light bar on it and I believe those are 6" lights. I wanna go with black nerf bars,black toobox, and black light bar with everything else being ptm and all plastics being really black.
Heres what I started with:

I shaved the door handles and removed trim(well I tried, I suck at ps) My color match failed too!

Jake has a few pics of the ptm bumpers which I hope he'll post because it looks sick IMO. I just wanna know what you guys think and maybe you can play with the ps a little more.

I am definitely considering doing this.. I love the look. I was thinking that because I am buying a new bumper anyways I might as well get a 99 4x4 front bumper ptm'ed. Then put a light bar on that hoe, and then I have headlights,fogs,3 9" spot lights, and 2 in the grille

OVERKILL

How much is junkyard special gunna set me back? I can get all this stuff painted for free,but question is.. Can I do this for under $500. Thats getting new front and rear bumpers(top bad,4x4 valance, fog lights,GM tow hooks) and a nfab light bar. I am going to try to sell my front bumper and grille guard. Hopefully they will sell, because they are both in great condition.
