Default What in tarnation this bumper be?

Anybody know what front bumper this is? I know it's not JP, JD, or a molded TTE. It's either a full bumper kit of some sort or some kind of lip kit that's molded and shave sidemarkers. I tried searching for the background of it but nothing is listed as far as mods. I just think it's probably a custom piece he molded where the dip was. Flows so well with the rest of the car. I want it!

looks custom to me.

may have just filled in the dip where the bumper was like you said. looks good though

it'd look better with some circular fog lights.

^^ Have you talked to Trade Secret?

http://www.tradesecretauto.com/main.html

They traditionally do collision repair, but they're a pretty legit facility and might consider doing a custom bumper like that.

There's always Kustomz Unlimited. Those guys are up for just about anything.

Thanks. Yeah I know K from Kustomz. He installed my bags. Never asked if he did do body work though. I saw his baby blue truck but if I remembered correctly, he said he sent it off to get it customed (back board of the truck bed). Imma check with my buddy to see if he can do it since he specialize in fiberglassing anything. His work is legit. He fiberglassed his whole interior (except seats). I'll try trade secrets too since I've never heard of them. Thanks again.

or he could've gotten a junk bumper, plastic welded the smooth sections of the spare into this one, filler, prime & paint.

That's all i'd do, instead of buying lips & cutting - not to mention cheaper in the end.
