Addictive Desert Designs Stealth Fighter installed

**update with daytime pictures. I did some more digging today on the parking sensors. Turns out the parking sensors AND bezels are different between the metal bumpers and plastic bumpers. It appears ADD made their bumper to accommodate the plastic bumper sensors. I have the plastic bumper sensors and bezels on order with hopes they fit better. I had to cut, shave, duct tape and RTV the sensors to get them to stay.


Put the bumper on tonight. Simple install with the exception of the parking sensors. There must have been a change either in the package level or from the 2021 they designed their bumper off of. I had to modify every bezel to get them to “fit” and then glue them in with RTV for now. I called them and sent pictures and they said the sensors are indeed different from what they built the bumper off of.
Other than that, it’s a quality piece. Comes with a license plate relocation bracket as well as a brake light relocation to fit bigger tires.

Nice, great clearance!!!

I originally had it on my shortlist but, decided I need to go with a tire carrier.

Looks great - I'm considering an ADD rear bumper, but haven't decided on which one yet.

While installing, did you notice if the OEM bumper is heavier/lighter than the ADD?

It looks like the relocated license plate bracket/plate blocks the blue Ford emblem.

I think the ADD is a bit lighter to lift. If anything, it’s not as awkward. The license plate bracket does block the Ford emblem.

My buddy and I just bought this bumper and we installed his and had the same issue with the housing for the sensors. Did the other housing work? And if so, do you happen to have the part numbers?
