Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Wife and I are looking at 04 3500 4x4 quad short boxes. One that fits our needs also has the sport package that includes a painted grille and colored front bumper, which we don’t like so well. Any body know exactly what the differences are in that bumper as compared to standard, could it be switched, is there a regular bumper lurking behind the plastic cover. The truck we like also has fogs.
We have a van with a full painted front now and I know from experience it’s a real bear to keep the bugs cleaned of it in the summer. Not to keen on having the same problem with a new truck.
In an unrelated question, can we order inner fenders, the plastic liners, for the rear on one of these short boxes from DC parts. They used to be there from factory, guess DC would rather save a couple of pennies and let me worry about rusty spring perches etc later.

. I guess it's a matter of taste (I prefer cheddar)
. The front bumper has a plastic covering on it and, for me, it seems quite easy to keep clean, no problem with the bugs (at least the east coast variety). The rear bumper is painted. It's all in what you like. 
. My feathers are unruffled
. Merry Christmas.
