Has anyone removed their rear bumper and fabricated their own metal cover similar to the one offered by EVO? I really like this look, but $189 seems like a lot, especially if I can make it myself. I will get those frame mounted d ring mounts, those things are badass

Pics if you can

 

Man I was thinking the same thing I just cant see spending 189 on it.

 

My feelings exactly. I have an idea of what I want to do, just looking to see what others have done. I think I will mock something up with cardboard or plywood and see how it looks. The thing I am most concerned about is the top, I cannot find any pics of the fascia from the top, how is it profiled to the body?

 

I like mine just how it is.

 

that have strict regulations about bumpers . I know N.H is pretty hard on rules of bumpers being on dot
otherwise I think id take mine off and do the evo kit
It wont get by a inspection though , unless you know someone who might let it go .

 

also plan to build my own at some point

 

Ok, I decided to fab one. I used a metal building girt as that's what I had available, it was free and it also had the 90 degree bend already.



It took me about 1.5 hrs to cut it down to what I needed. I have a hitch, so I decided to cover the bracket as opposed to cutting around it. That way I could use the hitch bolts to secure the fascia. I also drilled two holes on the top of the frame at the ends and have as bolts to hold it tight. This is what it looks like mocked up.



I will post more pics once I get it bedlined.

 

It seems like it might be pretty easy to use a piece of angle aluminum.
