Just an idea, but what if you paint the existing one? Or powder coat it?

Mainly for cosmetic purposes, but other than lights they also are used for hauling large items in back of truck without hitting back of the cab (kayaks, lumber, etc.)
I think it looks amazing and wish I could add it to my truck, but can't as I'll have a tonneau cover on the truck (either Retrax Pro XR, or Pace Edwards Ultragroove metal).

Sorry, my bad... i responded to the wrong postLOL I think we are talking about 2 different things
You'll need to remove it anyway, might as well give it a light sanding and spray some bed liner on it with the color of your choice....

there are 2 part numbers for the skid plate.... This one is more expensive ... so perhaps it is the black one.... hopefully your part guy will know... but there is the price....

Thank you! Honestly I expected more. I'm thinking it might be worth it as it will be an exact match, wear the same etc. than coating it with something.

I got an ultragroove metal. Seems to be great. Will be even cooler when I install...if I only had a truck
I liked the PE one, because you can just lock the tailgate vs the tailgate and separate key for the cover.

Just a quick follow up from this thread. Surprisingly I was able to buy the Rambar accessory from my local dealer and then install it myself. Then I was also able to successfully install the retrax Pro XR tonneau cover with the Rambar and it fits perfectly!
Here is a link to the thread with some pictures:
Tonneau Covers?
Im interested in that one too, probably have to get rid of rambar... where did you get it and how much did it cost? Are these hard to self install? I bought the ram bar as an accessory from a local ram dealership ($1,100), I ordered the retrax Pro XR on Amazon ($1,900). Having my bed sprayed...

Yes, and he posted the number for the stock grey one. Dont fall for it like I did. Read through this thread:
Black Front Skid Plate
Going with a black front skid plate... A buddy of mine just bought the Night Edition Rebel with the black plate...looks great.... He is contacting dealer with his VIN to see how one buys the black plate.... Rumor is that all replacement plates come Silver and the dealer has them powder...
