Default Bumper regrets?

Anyone buy a new bumper and regret their choice afterward?

Look at the For Sale section under bumpers. Lots of buyers remorse for resale.

You know, yes and no. No because it looks badass. Yes because its heavy as hell, adds extra weight, sucks more gas, heavy as hell, slows the car down, heavy as hell. Did i mention its heavy?

He'll no, love my AEV & PSC, it took plenty of research but that's part of all the fun. It's why we're all obsessed about our Jeeps.

I payed for my ace rear bumper end of July and just got it last week. Still haven't installed it, I realized my regret when I was on the forum looking for others who bought it to ask how long it took to ship, but stumbled onto pictures of it from different angles that is not on ace website. I realized there is no corner protection and it sticks out further then I thought.

yes and yes, on both the front and rear. but not because of the quality (except rancho rear, never was impressed), but because of how the jeep had evovled with other mods. A bumper can change alot of looks but every bumper doesn't compliment every style. Being on my 3rd front, and finally finding that "look" in my head, I'll see how long it last till the next set of mods.
