Are you still happy with your front bumper? Any notes for me, Just read through the entire thread..... I have an OBX Lux with ACC and Parking sensors.Well done sir!!!
Hey, yes still pleased with it. The powder coating is holding up well on the outside. Fyi, before I installed it I sprayed bed liner on the inside of the bumper focusing on the weld points n brackets.
did you end up getting the rear havoc bumper? Curious if you have pulled anything with it? The welds look pretty cringe and have me questioning if I should buy to match my front. I know it’s Chinese steel
I haven't towed anything yet. I did use those hooks to pull a large limb out of a tree, but doubt that the force was all that huge. I'm no welding expert, but they look really solid to medid you end up getting the rear havoc bumper? Curious if you have pulled anything with it?

Nice job! I'm still happy with mine. The Havoc Skid Plate for this bumper was returned. It does not fit with the winglet and does not follow the bumper lines.Just got mine installed. Was able to do it alone in about 2 hours - not bad at all. It's not too heavy for one person to lift into position and hold long enough to get 1 nut on each side started.
As for the skid plate, I'm just leaving the OEM on for now, doesn't look too bad IMO.
Next step is to install a light bar.
Hey,
Did you ever install aftermarket fog lights? I ordered same bumper and looking at diode ss3 but not sure they will fit.Havoc. Done and done.
reused factory fog lights. I’m going to switch to rigid or diode dynamics fogs. Parking sonars triggered until I went and perfectly centered the sonar in the hole with my finger. Mounted four rigid 366 inch lights on the two lighting tabs by making a custom mount.
FYI, havoc bumper directions show mounting the factory fog lights behind the brackets. I suggest mounting them in front of the brackets, closer to the bumper, so they sit closer to the opening. They sit too deep/further back in the opening do light spread is reduced.
What's with so many bumpers these days having protrusions sticking out rather than flat surfaces for non-damaging contact, pushing things, etc? Those front protrusions could make a mess of anything that comes in contact with them (although otherwise the bumper looks nice).did you end up getting the rear havoc bumper?
