By '08 I am assuming you mean an M-tech bumper....if you buy it from a reputable vendor (like trinity or eurorev) all parts needed will be included...post your location when you get the chance...helps to answer q's or recc shops/vendors local to you..no difference between 2004-2007 M tech bumpers and 2008+ M-tech bumpers aside from extra hardware needed for the '08s and above
here's the FS thread in the classified section for
Eurorev

post your location when you get the chance...
I don't know why the location cannot be made mandatory: I can't edit my messages, BUT location can be an option.
