As the title says, I hit a deer tonight. Luckily, just the bumper, grille, and headlights were damaged.

Figured I'll do the conversion on my 05 now.

From what I've read, I just need the bumper cover, bracket/support, headlamps, and grille.

Am I missing anything?

Also, is there a difference between supports? I've seen a steel and plastic. Which one is better?

Going to go with an overland grill, black spyder projector stock style headlights, and smoked fogs. Not sure if I really want the chrome strip at the bottom dam.

Would love to do a black srt grill but idk if I'll be able to find one.

Thanks for any help, guys

Finally got everything put together. Dealer quoted me $1,300 to paint and hang the bumper(I already had all of the parts). Needless to say, I shopped around and found an awesome shop that did an amazing job for $450.

I went with Spyder smoked fogs and their black non-HID projectors and an Overland grill. The lower valance didn't get painted but it actually doesn't look that bad.

I love the 08+ front end compared to the 05-07 front end. Looks meaner and just flows better.
