The only doubt..... is better black?

Is it just me or is this front bumper cool as hell? I suppose it only comes on models built in or for European countries?

I don't know if it's that cool but it sure is different! When I saw the pic I was like "WTH!"...that's no '09!

I believe that is the Australian version of the stock bumper. I like the look of it as well. I wonder what it would take to get those ones here in North America?

I like it, makes the front end look more... complete? The driving lights are further apart which might be a good or bad thing, depends how you look at it. The only thing is that its even more restrictive than the North American stock bumpers are for putting bigger tires on.

Crikey, it's the Aussie and Euro front bumper. Those lights are technically fog lights, the gap between the front fenders and top of the bumper is filled out and the space between the front "bollards" on the bumper is also extended out forwards as well (the spot where you'd mount a front license plate...the one in the pic is Italian, I believe). There might just be some extra room there to semi-conceal a bumper-mounted winch...hmmm. We also have to wear rear mudflaps to save us messing our trousers.

Hey all, has anyone from Ontario done this? Where did you get the mesh from? I have checked a couple of hardware stores and no such luck.

Thanks
