Replacement Front Bumper

Just ordered new wheel wells for my truck to start fixing it up and paint it. The PO had hit something with the bumper and bent it. Whats the cheapest best deal everyone has found for a new front chrome bumper WITH cutouts?

I ordered the sheet metal from CCGS. They also have new bumpers but I was just curious where people have found others that may be a better deal.

Nice! I need to get my wheel wells taken care of before they get too bad..

Cuz I was gunna offer up my front chrome bumper because I want to get a ranch hand all steel bumper with a winch, but sadly mine does not have the cutouts like that pictures (assuming those are the cutouts you are talking about)...

It has that plastic piece that runs across the bumper like seen in that photo. It also has that little plastic piece under the bumper... idk what its for, but its there.

I did have to trim about an inch or two off at an angle for my 35s because when she was flexed and turned sharply there was a little rub.

Alex, it looks to me from your savatar pic like the bumper you have has the holes in the front just like the one pictured above. Did you change bumpers?

hmm Maybe I do.. Ill go look out in the parking lot now.

Im pretty sure I dont because the chrome brushguard isnt that wide and it mounts to the bumper. And those cutouts looks way wider than the front brushguard does from the front..

Also I have a ford PSD license plate from riffraff covering it up..

haha guess i never noticed.

brb.

!Silencia!

That works pretty well Alex, lol. I couldn't tell from the picture in your gallery, but the avatar pic looked like it had the holes. Man I love that color. That LE paint code is in the final running for the color I will be making my truck after the bodywork gets done. That is one of, if not the best color that Ford ever put on these trucks IMO.

Hah! Thanks Nate.

I do indeed love this color. Its my favorite color on vehicles period. I mean on certain ones Red and Black come close second... but this metallic blue has some sentimental value too.

My dad was a Celica man... like he owned a lot of different vehicles (3 different mustanges.. 66, 68, 69) but he owned 12 Celicas! haha

The last one he bought was a 2004 brand new from the factory fully loaded Celica GTS. At the time of purchase there were 100 in the country of that model/package! lol

It was the same color as my truck. When he passed last year and we sold the car... thats when I found this truck and paid more for the truck than I probably should have, but I love it.

I literally got this truck 3 weeks after he passed. Needed something good in my life at the time.

HAVENT REGRETED IT! With all the off-roading ive only broken the sway bar link and had to fix that. Everything else that is replaced was because i thought it could 'use a touch up' or 'looked like she was worn out'

There I fixed it for you.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Hopefully the color and therefore the truck will bring back fond memories for you.

I was just looking at that pic in your gallery too! That blue is def gorgeous. My truck is red and I have to paint the bed, fenders and visor so I'm torn on whether to just do the whole truck blue instead! Just alot more work to paint/change the color of a cab vs. spray the bed etc.

AWitte, I sent you an email too so we werent filling up the PM box. Let me know if you dont get it.
