nice color, be sure you check the new bumper carefully. It should be a new one, not used or repaired.

That sux.... I'm willing to bet the dealer will have to paint the bumper and you won't get one painted from the factory!

For this reason I would not accept that truck!

Good luck

I have a feeling your right.I waited 70 days for this truck and I have to see how they will handle it.I don't want them to repair this bumper I want a new one.This is what I should be doing not this.

The reason I wouldn't accept a repainted bumper from the Ford body shop is I would be concerned how resistant it would be to rock chips.

Good luck and have a anyways!

Still trying to post photos correctly. Waiting to reorder another truck is not feasible for me. Hopefully this bumper situation can be remedied.
