Help me pick a new front bumper

Well, I screwed up my truck the other day and instead of having a new factory bumper replace my damaged one, I'm hoping to come out far enough on the insurance claim to install an aftermarket bumper.

I prefer smaller bumpers, but I think I'm going to have to get one that comes all the way up the fender so no money is wasted on repairing/replacing the factory bumper cover.

Damage




Choices
Fab Four


Expedition One


Metal-Tech


Although, this is what I'd prefer and if the bumper cover can be salvaged enough since it's getting cut anyway, this is my first choice.

 

If you end up having to go full no cut bumper I personally think c4 has the best looking option out there

 

bummer. From the side picture, I don't think a low-pro bumper will cover up the dent. The cut line is level with the top of the fog light hole. (Unless you can pop that dent out you might be able to hide it). And I don't like any of those full bumpers...sorry. They belong on a huge F350 or something. Just my opinion.

+1 @AddicTioN - faster than me on reply

 

Unfortunately, there are no bumpers currently on the market that catches my eye. Im hoping someone comes up with something more attractive soon.

 

OFF CAMBER FABRICATIONS



probably not gonna solve that dent tho

 

Ewww....

 

Fab fours

 

i think it comes down to personal tast and needs, my advise would be to get what you like and not to let the damage bumper determine your decision!
If you don't like the look of full replacment bumpers that likley will not change if you put one on your rig. That being said, I think the c4 bumper is the best looking full replacment bumper out there as well. Color matching the full replacement bumper makes it blend much better and eliminates the giant smily face look so that's somthing to consider if you go full replacment.

 

Subbed. This mod is definitely on my list. I'm surprised there aren't more low profile bumpers.

 

Live with it until a good looking bumper comes out! Those all look like crap!

 

@Dissent86 makes this one. Best looking 3rd gen bumper out there. Still in pre production trials but should be releasing it soon. But once again it dont help with your dent.

Skip the fab fours.. get one that at least has a winch mount

 

Go with what you want, it's your truck. Personally I wouldn't go with Fab Four unless you have a jacked up 3/4 ton, even then I think they have a tendency to look like Bubba from the movie Forest Gump. I would go with C4 like @AddicTioN recommended. They don't stick out as far and have a cleaner look.

 

I like the Fab Four but it kinda looks way to bulky on it.
