So I decided on getting a new front bumper from ebay for $200 shipped and new front ground effect from RK sport CA-300 for $275 shipped. My old one is pretty rough shape and since I'm getting it painted next year might as well do it right. My old one has the RS ground effects molded on to the bumper and after a few minor collisions has been braking off in a few areas.

Its just a stock bumper for the front and the ground effect is on Rksports site CA-300, i use to have a rk sport front but it cracked so just got the RS front and had it molded on, but now thats cracked pretty good. The sides and rear are from RK sport. I also run the extended air dam from them for more airflow. Ill post some pics when i get them.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

Got it together had only one problem , drilled through the bumper in one spot. They should be able to patch it once I get it painted.08' L76 6.0L 4X4 Chevy EXT.Cab LTZ Vortec MAX with Snug top cover, Dynomax exhaust,Hptuners& K&N intake

It look great! Can't wait to see it painted. It has a clean factory look to it.
My front bumper has the left front skirt showing an opening towards the center. I might consider the bumper you chose.Comment

Thanks, Yeah, after waiting 5 hours, got her in, morphine and some anti-vommiting drugs did the trick. Did a CT and confirmed it was a kidney stone, got home around midnight shes doing great. My back is tweaked so ill start again tomorrow. Ill post some pics later on with the bumper off, one thing I noticed is theres no support where the headlights are on the new bumper so will have to make my own. Stock one has them riveted in so no taking them out. Also had a tough time installing the blinkers in the new bumper, didn't want to line up right but got them inOriginally posted by LETZRIDE View Post
