I think I am going to get this one, it looks like it matches my front bumper perfectly. Who did you order yours through?

Believe it or not I ordered mine from Ebay. Just took a quick look and found one for $280 shipped. Looks like Qtec has it for $327 so that ebay price looks hard to beat. One thing I will caution about is the finish. Not the quality, mine is perfect after 2+ years, but its a pretty aggressive textured powdercoat which will not match your front. Don't know if that'll make a difference but worth noting...might want to look at some google images or youtube videos to see. Good luck in your search.

Default two versions

Forgot to mention, there are two versions of this bumper. The one I have and one set up to accept their tire carrier should you want to add it later. The tire carrier however Does NOT get good reviews, there are more than a couple threads on the forum noting problems. I didn't want that type of carrier anyway and plan to go with something like the teraflex that swings with the rear gate.

No cutting unless you have a 2012 and newer. If you do then you will have to cut the vacuum pump bracket and buy the pump relocation kit. Very easy mod!
