Question Getting rid of chrome

My plan is to remove all the chrome off my truck and replace it with color matched tuxedo black paint. Does anybody know of a website that offers stock pieces for cheap for these trucks? I'm going to change out the front and rear bumpers (or maybe just get them de-chromed and painted depending on replacement parts cost), front tow hooks,front grille bezel and side mirror chrome trim. I'm going aftermarket for the front grille, 20" rims, running boards and all recon smoked LED lighting is ordered and on the way except the projector headlights which are supposed to be released around christmas. Also I'm looking for replacement black f350 emblems but I will have to probably wait til those are released.

Is there anybody out there who can help me out to find some good deals or should I just go to ford and order the parts.

Sounds like you have the "chrome package". Maybe someone would trade you that doesn't have that option.

Yeah, I have the chrome package but the only difference is the tow hooks, side mirrors, running boards and tie down hooks in the box I believe. All lariat packages come with plastic chrome grille/bezel and bumpers which is my main concern.

I hate the chrome and the saddle leather. Chrome is easier and cheaper to change.
