I would love to have a bumper paint matched, but like you said 20 year old paint and fresh paint have a rare chance of matching. Also, if I painted the front bumper, my OCD would not even let me sleep until I replaced the rear bumper...

 

Haha. well, I'm having the last laugh because they people from ebay link are charging 80 bucks to paint it!

Anyway, real choices are ugly chrome, weird grey or $80 somewhat matching paint

If someone sold black ones that would be fantastic but did not find those.

 

Could always buy the grey one and paint it black yourself?

 

Can I put a 2005 header panel, 2005 headlights 2005 grill and 2005 bumper and still use the front hitch?

I am told by peeps who put in the 2005 grille that it sits about 1.5 inch lower than 2003.
