Hi, guys. Earlier this winter, I did a boneheaded move; I pulled forward into what I thought was a snowdrift, but was actually an icedrift. Craaaack. The front bumper cracked along the bottom as you can see below.

Then, some cementhead blew a stop sign in a parking lot and grazed the front of my truck. You can see the scuffs and the damaged license plate above. Anyway, I'm looking for a relatively cheap replacement that still offers decent quality. I have found the following: Replacement bumper.

They seem to have good reviews, but I want to be sure before pulling the trigger. I'm also planning on doing the stacked LED pods to replace the factory fog lights, and adding a lightbar to the opening in the bumper, so this seems like the time to get that done as well.

Any advice? Please and thank you. Hope you're all well!

After my run in with a deer I replaced mine with this Warn bumper. It's a $1000, but I made an insurance claim. Didn't want to replace weak stock parts with more weak parts. Always upgrade after a booboo

Thanks, guys, but I actually like the look of the factory bumper and want to keep it.

Well from the looks of it thats only the plastic cover. Did anything get bent? If so you'll need to replace it as well. Plus figure at least $300 for paint. Assuming you are doing all the install you're into the thing for probably $500-$600.

No, just the bumper cover is damaged.

LMC Truck is what you seek. Quality replacement parts.
