They're polished aluminum. My fiance got them for me for Christmas. I wanted the chrome factory hooks but whichever dealer she called, told her that there was no such thing so she got me those from an aftermarket shop :doh: Actually, though, the angle in them lines up perfectly with my new bumper :nod:
yea i have been looking for parts now for 4 months! Well a bumper actually. Once that comes along on ebay or CL i am going to buy the rest new if i cant find it used. :doh:
When I did the upgrade I also went with HID's. The supplier I got them from sent me Bi-Zenons to fit the H7 housing and the plug fit the 9004 factory harness. It was a true plug and play. That was the best $150 bucks I ever spent. Look up HIDking on ebay. I have purchased 6 sets from him with no issue. Super cheap!
Just put the grille and bumper on after work, still have to mount the fog lights. The bumper is from an F450 which I pulled the flare extensions off. I'll use some stainless 1/4" carrige bolts to fill the holes, but for a complete take-off bumper for $200, I'm not going to complain.
This is an easy conversion. If I do end up with a pre-05 SD, I will at least be changing the headlights. I have not decided on the bumper yet. I actually prefer the grille from the earlier models but like the 05-07 bumper. I have not put the two together yet to see how they might look, but I will......
What bumper brackets did you guys use? can I reuse my 01's or buy new? an anyone have the part number an prices on new?
