    They used to be sold directly by DV8 on EBay for $355, including shipping. I actually got mine for $305 with a couple of scratches for which they also provided a rattle can of paint to touch up. I see now they are asking $489, quite a jump in price.

    Here is the best picture I could get of the new bracket with gussets from the factory. They are still available on ebay for $375 now.

    I know the question on TSS came up before. Strongly considering this bumper. Can anyone with the PRO grill confirm this doesn't affect the TSS, since it sits lower on this grill? Thanks!

    I can confirm it does NOT effect the TSS with an authentic pro grill and sensor

    @hookembevo are you happy with the DV8 bumper so far? Did you mount a winch? Mine should arrive this weekend. Cheers

    It’s cool your fixing it yourself ... why not just do a insurance claim . Depending on your driving history . The insurance rates would of just stayed the same . And all you would have paid is your deductible. Most insurance company’s will work with you if you want to replace with none oem stuff .

    I got my oem trd pro skid plate for $300 shipped to my door, new in box from a dealer. I guess "cheap" is relative.

    Still super happy with it. It's been in 3 wrecks and looks great.

    Word to the wise, notch it on the passenger side to give plenty of room for your AC line. Otherwise, it will slowly rub a hole and you'll lose your refrigerant.

    can you post some pics of the rubbing area you are talking about? Could the rub have come from the 3 wrecks?
