    So Iv looked up about what Im going to pay for all the parts and labor im going to need to replace the stock front bumper cover/reinforcement/etc.. but what about aftermarket? Im looking at spending $12-1300 anyway so any ideas for something a little tougher?


    yes i know there are bumper threads, but just looking for some quick opinions/ideas around that price range.

    thanks

    I used TAG. Best bet is to stay after Kyle. It was delivered on the day promised 6 weeks.

    Don't have to ask a lot of questions if you use the search button. Just thought I would add my 2 cents.Didn't know there was a minimum.

    Or, you could look at it the other way. You have been a member of TW for 8 or 9 months, and you have posted almost 1500 times! THAT is crazy!

    Yeah no harm done. Just figured 1 or 2 good posts are better than 10000 useless ones. What is this page 1111 of the same question? I can word the same question that many ways.

    Back to subject bumper was decent at price.He was kinda shady on the phone but done had my money before researching them close. All in all it turned out OK. If you look at their website mine is the white one.

    That would be the first even remotely good TAG/Kennesaw Mtn review I have heard. I would say the best bet is to stay away from Kyle, not to stay on top of him.

    As far as Relentless goes - If you have damage (as much as I like Eric's work) probably don't want to wait the 7-10 months it will likely take to get the bumper you want.

    CBI has impressed me with their work and their willingness to talk about design elements and help after the sale...and I think they state about a month lead time. Heard good thing about BruteForce too...but haven't worked with them to provide any real opinion of my own.
