Since I also want one I had the dealer check the part number and price.
He told me that right now 28 are on order nationally and there is no expected ship date.
This is a bummer as I want this bumper
I wonder what the hold up is, maybe they have too many of the non fog bumpers in stock.

It's a shame that they didn't have the fog light holes in them in the first place. Now people have to wait months to find out if they're even going to really send them their bumpers....Rediculous!

I did it using a Lenox hole saw and a 1/2" electric drill. About tore my arms off when it grabs, but it finally cut through. Then cut a piece of 4" PVC pipe to recess the lights behind the hole. Drilled 4 holes and used the factory mounting hardware. Came out pretty slick.

figures
now will need to remove and re-install.
think the mopar instructions are incorrect since it states to install larger bolts at bumper, then torque smaller ones to 65LBS on lower mount - they almost pinch through the plate at 65LBS? don't think this is correct

Alright I have used the part number to try and find it. Anyone have anymore info? Please help because I was looking at the offroad MOPAR one to start with, but I wanted to keep my factory fogs. I would really like to get his bumper so that I can keep the factory fogs and install a winch. Thanks
