Message:
Hey guys, need some help here. I have a 2000 slt standard cab v6. I freakin love everything about this truck. I have many exterior mods and engine mods. I'm not a fan of any bumper covers or rollpans, but I really don't like the grey valence panel on the front and the grey plastic panels on the rear bumper. I have bought a sport valence panel, but I cant seem to find the sport plastic covers for the rear bumper (not on Ebay or anywhere). Prime condition is a must please, I will buy the whole bumper assy. if have too. So will anyone please help me out, or maybe you have one i can take off your hands. Thanks much

Hey Jonathan, I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my truck. Where did you get the front piece? I went to the dealer yesterday and they charge about $350 for the plastic piece. I didn't ask about the rear ones.
Thanks and truck on...

You ever think about painting your plastic?
I did (as soon as I got the truck), and it made a world of difference. I never liked the way the cheap gray pieces looked, especially on dark blue truck. Reminded me of a Honda DX (or similar low-trim-level). After I had these parts painted to match, I liked the result so much, I went ahead and had the grille painted as well.
I know.... I shoulda bought a "Sport", right? Couldn't... they don't come in Patriot Blue, besides, I like the chrome bumpers and badging.

Broeheem: How much did you pay for painting?
I am planning to paint the black strip on sport plus front bumper, but have no idea what would be a fair price to look for.

I remember getting my bumper fixed because some idiot rear ended me cost $2000 to fix the whole bumper. Stuff isn't cheap.

Chris, I looked forever for the lowest price, I found it at www.autobodypartsonline.com they have just about everything, very helpful. That front valence panel i got only cost like 100, with shipping. Broeheem, to my undrestanding, those grey plastic peices have a rough finish, making it hard to make shiny and smooth once painted?? maybe im wrong.

I paid a total of $180.00; $120.00 for the 3 bumper pieces, then $60.00 for the grill. Done by the Chrysler paint shop, the colour is a perfect match.
Jonathan:
The finish was textured, but sanded before it was painted, and I'm fully satisfied with the end result.

Thats the only thing I was worried about. A guy I know suggested sanding them to make them shine better. It would be a whole lot less of a hassle if they finish just as shiny as the paint, or the sport pieces. You wouldnt have a picture of the rear would you.

dude,
you can have them painted for like $125 at Maaco or Earl Schieb. my buddy bought the paint and had them paint it for him. the only thing with that is they didn't take off the bumpers. thats why its so cheap.
mahalo,
Scotty
