I think there is a lot to like about these bumpers. Better approach. Better looks. Easy paint touch up. Lighter than an after market bumper. Easy to find a cheap replacement from all the people buying aftermarket bumpers.

For those of you running without factory fogs, what are you using to fill the holes? I saw the gutter guard technique, but I'm looking for something more solid.

I used a thin sheet of steel. Found it in the auto body repair section of my local automotive store. I just cut it to fit, bedlined it, riveted it in place and then shot some bedliner over the rivets. The first two pics in this thread are mine.
