I'll second that question.

I got the bumper from a company called "Absalute diesel" in Texas. Shipped to my door was about $1150, including the hitch receiver and LED lights.

Did that include the paint to match your color?

Did they custom make it for you or is it a brand name?

It was actually just the glass, which I found online for $60 shipped. Other guy hasn't called yet, but I did stop and his wife was there to check to make sure he got the note...

You found replacement glass for your new mirror? Do you have an aftermarket mirror or a Ford OEM mirror?

OEM. I got an OEM set from ArmyLifer to replace the busted glass it had when I bought it... and now it's got one of the same pieces broken again. It's just the standard 01 tow mirror.

Apparently it was that or a school bus, so I guess all things considered it wasn't that bad.
This is why my better 7/8ths wont drive the EX. She once rounded a mirror on a ranger.

Oh my bad. For some reason I thought you had the '08+ mirrors.

Let's see... my fuel fittings and passenger's side fuel line came in, so I got the HPOP lines installed, fuel bowl installed, fuel lines installed, FRx plumbed in, and the HPx installed. Turbo is reassembled except for the wastegate. I cleaned up the wiring harness some, replacing the tattered bits of split loom and tucking the AIH and EBPV connections back into the loom so there are no visible dead ends.

Company coming this week, won't have much opportunity to work on things. Maybe up-pipes and pedestal in the morning, but that will be it until next Monday.

Maybe cuz ArmyLifer put on the 08+ when he gave me the old set?

Either way, Glass arrived last night, I put it on this morning. Has a slight distortion, but not enough to send back. Other than that, it's a good solid part. Can't say enough how fast they shipped it. It was on the car less than 48 hours after breaking the original.

Yes, paint was included at that cost. They make all their bumpers in house.

Matt, pretty sure they are made by Husky. They have been on for 9 years. For some reason the fronts get a blob of sun fade, had these on my last Ex and same thing happened. I just dust it with SEM Trim Black and all is well again. Please disregard the dirt!

LOL, no, you give me way too much credit. I can't even remember who has a V10 and who has a PSD, much less who has done specific mods to their rig.
