A friend of mine can do it for you. Keep in mind that if/when u get rock chips on the front bumper, the chrome can/will show through. Pm me if interested. He's in seagoville.

If you paint match the bumpers cover it with a clear bra and it will eliminate the rock chip/ chrome showing through.

^^What he said. I have the 3M protection on my Tahoe, hood + fenders. The bra kit is what you want for any vehicle that you want to keep looking nice.

Ok I'll keep that in mind about your friend. I found a paintable rear bumper but can't find a paintable front piece.

How much do the clear bras run? And what happens when you power wash?
