    all you would need to do is either locate a bumper the color of your truck or find one and have it painted then unbolt the OE one and bolt the new color match bumper on..

    You can even just switch lower valances with fog holes, get it painted and add the fogs.

    the edge's use the 4x4 bumper, and they bolt right up

    you can use a 2wd bumper, but you have to trim off the ears on the valance

    When you do the new bumper are you going to use an OEM Fog Light Switch setup ?

    If so let me know what you will need for a new Radio Bezel and we can talk about swapping bezels.

    What does your existing radio bezel look like ?

    Do you already have a bezel with the OEM Switch in it ?

    If not post a pic of what your bezel looks like and i will see if I have one, maybe we can trade ?
