Anybody got a 2001-2003 R/T-style one-piece front bumper (paintable) they're wanting to get rid of?

for the love of god, will somebody please tell me where I can find a 2001-2003 R/T style one-piece, paintable front bumper cover w/fog light holes for less than $350.

I've heard rumors about stock-style fiberglass and carbon fiber replacement covers, but haven't seen any proof yet.

baksdak -- I'm about to break down and try sanding and painting that grey, fake-textured "gaysport" trim on the bumper. If I do, I'll post how it turns out.

www.autobodypartsonline only has the two-piece bumper covers listed (1997-2000). Looks like I'll be sanding and painting.

im not sure if its what youre looking for, but the stillen and streetscene front bumper covers look alot better (in my opinion)...and unless youre gonna find one PAINTED for the price that youre looking for, i would suggest one of the two i suggested above.

i see the grilles and bumpers on ebay all the time that are aftermarket parts for wayyyy less than the ones from dodge

just get the metal part of the bumper and the lower valance aftermarket and they bolt up then you can paint them to match your truck. looks the same as the r/t front end

you could prob get the bumper and valance for under $100 then cost of paint

I did this to my truck , using dodge parts though because of insurance and now i got a totally red dak instead of a SLT dak

OK. I have a ONE-PIECE front bumper cover. I think this is how they are all being done now, as opposed to the pre-2001 daks. Everything I've seen so far is for the TWO-PIECE type front bumper cover.

Are the two types interchangeable? If I go out and buy a TWO-PIECE bumper cover, will it mount up to where my ONE-PIECE bumper cover is now mounted?

The dealers that I've talked to so far have no idea.

I have also thought about painting the grey part of the bumper but from what I have heard it will chip, it is just a matter of time. I went to the dealer to see how much it would be and for just the bumper it was a little more than 400 dollars and they do not come painted anymore. So after you get someone to paint it you are over 500 bucks!! Is it worth it?? I think so, but I know I can find a better deal....now where???
