     For the life of me I can not remember someone posting pics that I have seen with matching bumpers to their paint, but maybe someone has pics they will post.

The only thing like that that ive seen is roll pans painted to match. Never bumpers though.

when I bought the truck, those bumpers were white and had to go! ::)

I did see some the other day that were painted silver then clear coated and really looked nice. Almost chrome looking
