Also, I didn't see if they put any light tabs on the winch hoop (which I plan to get), are there any? That is an option that can be addedAlso, on the tabs on top of the bumper, when you mount a 6" or 8" fog light there, do they get in the way of the turn signal? It is hard to tell in their website pictures, does anyone have any head on pics or know from experience if this is an issue. The tabs are placed in the best location to fit the largest light possible (I mocked it with a 6") in between the tube and turn signal.FInally, I saw on their website that they had a front plate mounted over the winch fairlead, is this an option I can purchase? Does it remove easily when on the trial. I do need a front plate location.
It seems most people go for the matte black as opposed to the textured, does it look better? I guess it would also be easier to touch up.
Any other advice from experience is appreciated. How is their customer service and warranty? Anyone hit trees or other large objects with the bumper? Damage?
Sorry for all of the questions but your help is appreciated, this is a tough decision!

You're going to be waiting a long time brother....Ordered mine August 25th & just talked with Jim today...he told me they were waiting on some parts forever and that they should have the bumpers ready to build by Thursday...then powdercoating and packing....he said it's going to be the end of the month at least (that's if I'm in this batch)...
I was first told mid to end December after waiting 12 weeks....now on week 19.

<< bump>> on talking to David at Northridge 4x4 about the bumper or other jeep parts
David set me up with great package for my JK, Like everyone else... I too am still waiting for my shrockworks front bumper... would I have ordered it knowing the wait would be 4+ months... ummm probably... knowing of the long wait ahead of time would have made the wait easier.
