    I did some damage in the snow on the right side. $400 to replace the right side after all parts were bought. The new FL's are 3 peice bumpers.

    As for the OP. Sounds like he's one of them rental operators for a mega.

    Yeah, I just looked at the kw aftermarket replacement bumpers on the internet. But I bought one of those plastic bumpers and it was less than $500.

    And they wonder why we always tell people not to do L/P, deal with megas, or go into this with less than $20k in the bank.
    Too bad we don't know what we are talking about.

    The rules for "rear bumpers" are very specific. The rules for front bumpers are pretty generic and open to interpretation. If someone did an inspection, they might put it down as a violation.

    I personally would not stop someone for missing part of a front bumper, any more than I would stop someone for missing part of a mudflap. It's waaay down on my priority list.
