I would go ahead and buy the aftermarket one for both the 03 and up models and the same thing with 02 and earlier models. But like everyone has said an 03 will not fit on an 02 or earlier. The shape is diffrent. But you can buy one from several places and they are about 299 for them.

In both cases on aftermarket, the bumpers do come as one complete piece, meaning that the ducts are molded together with the entire bumper. All you have to do when intalling one is removing the factory air damn and your all set to go.

 

HAs anyone added thier foglights to the aftermarket cover? I'd hate to have to get rid of my foglights. I'm sure you can make them fit, but is it a major job?

 

Cervini's also make an SS cover for the 99-02 Chevy's:

the cervini cover looks a bit bulky IMO. I was/ am getting the Street scene because it seems to have a better contour to the body lines fo the truck.

 

This guy did it on his truck, you can read through it and see what all it took...

Unless you plan on doing the side cladding all the bumpers look to bulky w/ the exception of the street scene one.

 

Thats what I was worried about when I did mine, but after I got it on I was real happy with it.

 

my dad has a street scenes SS cover on his 02

what specific parts are needed to convert an 05 silverado bumper to ss bumper?
The mounting hardware and base bumper are still the same aren't they?
