Both bumpers style look great. This will most likely be my 1st mod. Did you guys mounted the bumper youtself? If so, is it that complicated?

Umnitza we'll be in touch this summer.

In my case, I bought and installed the OEM MTech bumper. No need to replace the bumper foam piece. All is needed is to trim 2 X 1 inch square pieces off where it mounts and the supplied mounting brackets has a 1 inch square adapter that replaces the cut out piece. There's probably a couple of DIYs in the forum regarding the front bumper install if you search. I may have a link in my other computer. I'll post it when I find it.

Here's a link to cutting the existing foam so that the new bumper would fit:
