Too bad it's still in FG.

I like how it looks, a LOT.

I'm not wild about it... The picture of the orange one they show is slightly different than the actual bumper. The orange one has more of a rounded front, the one they show has a pretty definite edge on it. Also, the orange one has an extra lip halfway down the main opening in the middle. And it looks like something is a little different with the side part.
I guess all those years of 'find the differences' paid off! LOL
All that being said, It's an ok bumper, and it definitely beats the cow catcher!

Yeah, thsoe are the only 2 differences I see, and the extra "lip" is probably the bumper reinforcement or something back there. Either way, it's pretty damned nice.

Differences:
Stock vent hole in one but not the other
Missing support in the bottom opening in one but not hte other
ridge all the way around just under the headlights on one and not the other
the actual car looks like it has fender flares that include the bumper
Basically they're two different bumpers that look similar, or the 'real car' is photoshopped. Real shady.

saw it a few months back, didn't even mention it cuz it was ugly lol..
top half of the ACTUAL bumper is cuda II.
and the reason its FG is cuz theres no point to make a urethane or ABS bumper for a tib.. they wouldn't sell enough, and no one would pay the price for either material bumper.

I never asked why it was FG. I know why it's FG. I just said "too bad it's still FG."
