05 conversion question

I know this is beating a very dead horse but I cant find an answer with the search function. I'm looking to do the front end conversion including the bumper. Was an all chrome bumper offered on these trucks? (05) If not, if I use my 99 bumper, will it work with the 05 header panel. OR should I just be happy with the 05 headlights and grill and call it a day and just trim it to shreds...

an all chrome bumper was not offered. If you use the old bumper, you have to cut the grille. i like the look of the 05 lights and grille w/ the chrome bumper.

I saw that, and his prices are expensive. I can get a grill from certifit for 60 bucks. Now, I have to cut it....
