Default Stock Bumper Mods - What you got?

My son wants a new bumper with a Stinger for his 07'. This is fairly expensive for a Christmas gift so I wanted to see different types of stock bumpers modified to your pleasure. Although he likes the width and not the stubby bumper, I'd be interested to see all of your modified front bumpers. We are going for aesthetics only and nothing else.

Any help with pics etc. is greatly appreciated!!

I installed VDP end caps on my stock bumper to last me until I got my current JCR bumper.

I have the MBRP Light bar with a set of HID converted hella 500s on there, then I added VDP high clearance Corners as well. Give the bumper a Full width but a better looking profile than stock. I get many comments on how it looks.

I put the VDP stubby end caps on, winch plate and winch with synthetic rope. It looks good and it's functional. The stock bumper set up can take more of a beating on the underside than you may think too. Check my profile for pictures.

This bumper is now gone, but I cut it off and capped it with Rough Country Steel Caps, and I added brackets to hold KCs.

I used to have this same grille guard. Saved my front end a couple times. Well worth the money if you're not trying to spend a lot on replacing the whole bumper.

All I did was paint the insert & the tow hooks. Replaced the plastic skid plate with a steel one.
