Hello everyone, bought my first Titan today and joined right away!

I would like to say I have been trolling the site for several hours and there is a TON of info on here. I just bought a 2008 Titan SE Crew Cab. It is Galaxy Black with the chrome front (center) and rear bumpers. I am wanting the truck to be ALL black, am I correct in assuming I should find an XE front bumper or can the chrome piece be swapped out for a black one? I have seen the threads about swapping the xe for se so i'm assuming i have to get a whole new bumper. Is the xe rear bumper color matched as well? Thanks for the info and if thats what i'm going to have to do, let me know if anyone has a black set they want to sell or trade! Thanks again!

Thanks I am wanting the parts to be Galaxy black if anything....I have already ordered a replacement upper and lower black billet grill so maybe i just leave the center piece chrome if its a huge deal or see if i can pick one up at a salvage yard...
I saw a rollpan for sale on the forum as well but i want to install a receiver hitch and from what i have read you can't install a hide a hitch and flip up tag and still keep your spare...

Welcome to TT. XE rear bumpers are the silver/light gray color.

If you want to replace your bumpers, try and find the pro-4x bumpers... both front and back are color matched. And with the XE front bumper, it's plastic instead of metal... So if you want to keep the metal you definitely need to find a pro-4x bumper or get yours painted to match.

Welcome to TT & Congrats. I had an 07 SE and researched this when I had it. I was told that the XE could not be swapped out with the SE b/c they were assembled differently. I was going to have it painted to match and no one wanted to do it saying that it wouldn't stay on or would cost a lot to do it rt (getting the chrome off) so I traded it for a pro4x.
I have to say though some of the guys on here are very creative and skilled and can make what seems impossible possible.
