A while back someone nailed my truck and took off. I've been keeping my eyes on the local classifieds, and finally:



I paid $150. GM wanted $300 for just the chrome bumper part. My divers side fog light is also buggered - it still works, but it isn't sealed anymore, so water often gets in there. Now I have a replacement fog light, and a spare. And a spare plastic valence for if anything ever happens to the existing one. The guy even tossed in a brand new GM winter front that he had never used. I'm not sure I'll use it either - I've never had a problem with the heat even at -40°C.

If you find a rear bumper shell for a 2004 Ford FreeStar in dark gray color, let me know.

It took about two hours total. No problems at all. It helped to have the new bumper there to figure out which bolts to remove.

I'd like to get a grill gaurd, or even to have gone with an all new bumper, but I just don't have the cash right now.

Hummer- you should post a picture that also shows the foglights in your "new" bumper are in fact working Laughing

Where I live, it seems to be derigeur for SUVers & pickup truckers to have their foglights on at all times, even when there's absolutely no need for them. Especially if you have a tall vehicle, I guess to ensure that your foglights appear smack dab in the middle of my mirrors. Embarassed
