Full Chome Replacement Bumper

I hit a deer the other night....now I need to replace my front bumper and headlight. I am looking for an aftermarket bumper that is all chrome....I don't want to put on the plastic end caps. Any ideas?????? What about replacement Xenon headlights? Thanks.

It's probably cheaper to replace your bumper with a new steel aftermarket bumper to prevent future run-ins with deer. I believe you can put in the Q HID lights with some minor mods.

you can always have something like this made

I wouldn't mind having some covers made that are chrome. Something similar to polished rocker panels, but for the front bumper.

BRAVO for bringing this up!
I thought I was the only one that has issues with the plastic corners. My objection is the fact that the corners are painted and vulnerable to chips from rocks and other debris. We have a Dodge Caravan with a similarly styled painted front bumper and it is a definite issue. I am very skeptical that the 3M clear " bra" is going to help to any degree against rock chips. Might keep it from falling off but don't see how a thin layer of vinyl or whatever it is can possibly protect it from damage. Stillen makes a complete bumper cover, but it has to be painted. Kinda defeats my objective. What I want to find are corners made from the kind of smooth black rubber or plastic that doesn't need to be painted. The front of a frontier I have seen had this kind of bumper.
My other idea is to buy two new corners and the coat them with something like spray on bedliner. My problem with that is the " pebbled" surface. I really want something smoother than the aftermarket spray on liners.
Short of trying to convince Stillen to make some, does anybody else have ideas?
btw... Nice diamond plate corners, but I'm not ready to pay the kind of money that would cost.
