Well my manager at work just bought one and wants to get the thing on the front but it's like $700 CDN I just didn't know what it entailed, and how tough it is to install. I was thinking of charging her a case of beer to install it if she could find it cheap. I figured it just attaches to the frame, but I dunno.

Does anyone know what would be needed parts wise for it? (Tools mostly)

Anyone know if there are any kicking around for cheap or come across anything? Local yards haven't helped me at all.

OMFGLMAOBBQ!!!!!!

Sorry guys I must have deleted the part where I actually explained what the F I was talking about.

But yeah, you got it. I thought it was just a bolt on. Any idea of the cost of that somewhere? The dealer here was gonna install it for her for $700, but I'm sure someone knows where to find it way cheaper than that.

Sorry. :embarrassed:

LOL

That's not very stealth like. LOL

That could look pretty cool on a tib if the car was done right. Your car looks to prissy to do something like that though. We'd have to get you a lift kit and some OZ wheels to make something like that work!!! LOL

It's just a b**** to line up.
Bolt the bottom on first,... loosely and then bolt up the top.

$700!!!
WTF! She's getting ripped off.
On the Hyundai Canada page it says $507, and that should be INSTALLED!

here is the one I had on my Sante Fe...with shipping it was close to $700...bolts right up with hangers that go over the bumper and bolts that secure at the bottom to the underside of the truck...took about 30 minutes to install....
