Blacked out grille & bumper?

My current truck is a 2023 Bighorn, and has chrome grille & bumpers. Not looking for an aftermarket grille, but want to use a Tradesman trim level grille. Has anyone done it? Not sure of what parts I would need to order. Yeah, I could go to my local Ram dealer, but trying to compile a parts list to see if I could find them online cheaper. Looking for the same with the bumper. My 2017 Ram was a tradesman trim and I loved the look. Side note: I’d like to add bedlights, does the wiring already exist inside the bedside and just need to plug in lights?

Just look at the Built to Serve edition trucks if you want to know what it looks like. Should be a direct swap on grills

Yeah, I know what it looks like. That’s what I want, I just need to know what parts I’d need to order.

Everybody with painted bumpers complains the paint chips. Wires are not there for bed lights, there are a couple different kits to add them. Search the forums.

I was thinking more along the lines of the plain black steel bumpers that come on the tradesman trim level.

It's still paint, so I would see if anyone on the forums has had those chip.
