    Here are some pics of the final install of one of our new front bumpers on a customers truck. This one got a textured satin black powdercoat to match the grille. It turned out very nice!

    These bumpers are available with a short lead time for anyone who is interested. This bumper was designed to re-use the original fog lights (this is what the customer wanted) but we will not be offering this option for production bumpers. The brackets that needed to be made were too time consuming and its just not worth trying to re-use them. Our newest design comes with square cut outs to fit the square D-2 style LED lights. Pictures of that style will be posted in a couple weeks when powdercoat is done.

    PM me for details on bumper options and pricing! Thanks everyone!

    Looks great. Really does.
    Not sure why you wouldn't plan on keeping the stock fog cutouts. Many do as I think you will find customers do not want to give them up. I also think that quite a few will not add aftermarket fogs in some cases just wanting to keep theirs.
    I wouldn't give up mine and added Rigid fogs as well.
    Again, love the look and the best of luck.

    Nice! my shop is about an hour from Rushmore.
    I have not built one strictly from measurements yet. usually I build one on the vehicle, then take it off and build a fixture around it to make it repeatable. What im really curious about is how many differences there really are other than grille shape. I would think the bumper I have designed now would fit in most places, I would just need to change the top section to match the lines of the grille.

    Bumper looks great. Not a fan of the logo design, but small potatoes. Good job. :)

    Thanks! Retaining the original fogs is something I would like to offer, but have not figured out an easy way to mount them and make them adjustable. The original fogs are shaped goofy on the backside and don't really have any way to just attach a simple bracket to them. Are there other companies that offer mounting brackets for the stock fogs on their bumpers? Most of what I have seen uses all aftermarket stuff.

    Thank you. So far most people really like the logo, but of course not everyone is going to.

    What is it that you specifically don't like about the logo?

    Should've said not a "huge fan," as I don't not like it. I think for the product it's being cut into, though, it's almost a personality clash. Is it a roadway that tapers out between the C4 and the FAB lettering?

    Maybe I'm used to the trendy marketing styles we have today in most every category, where things look very much the same, but I'd kinda like to think it'd be a good look just having a "C4" cut out of the front, in a font similar to your signature font or a military style "stencil" lettering.

    The bumper looks great though, and really the logo is good, I just thought it's a little out of place in that particular style and in regards to the product.

    I understand where you are coming from. The fact that you see it as a "roadway" tapering into the distance is pretty cool! ive never looked at it that way. My thoughts are that the C4 could be climbing up the face of a hill, as that is what most of us use our off-road vehicles to do. Honestly I just wanted it to be a more unique logo than just my business name cut in there. I wanted to put something with it so it would stand out yet not be too busy.

    Definitely unique, which is probably why it looked a little off to me. I think most companies these days want their own version of the Rockstar Energy logo, you know?

    Less is more as they say. I think logo wise just "C4" in a cool font alone would be more pleasing, otherwise great. :)
