HELP!: I need a bumper!

Well I damaged my whole bumper assembly. The bottom valence, middle chrome, and top portion too. Also my grill is toast.....

So I was looking for a new bumper assembly and I did not want the chrome this time. And I stumbled upon this bumper on eBay. The store is 30miles from here but I cant go till monday.

I was wondering what you guys think? Its made of "Duraflex". They have a video, you can see the material. But I was looking at it and it looks pretty light and thin. Almost as if it would vibrate from wind while on the freeway like those cheap body kits you see on little japanese cars.

Anyways, here is the link

If this is a bad bumper, someone help me out with choosing one. And keeping the price moderately low.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

That's a bumper cover not an actual bumper. Those types of bumpers mount over your OEM metal bumpers. For a little bit more you can get the bumper with foglights, bumper pad, and valance. All together from eBay.

How is that a bumper cover, no where on the listing does it say cover. I'm almost 100% sure it is a bumper. but its a really flimsy 1 piece it looks like. What bumper do you have on that red f150 in your avatar? I dont want a chrome one. I want my mechanic to PTM it

The red truck is not mine. It belongs to member on here name jose bigred, it's OEM 06-08 fog light bumper with a fx2 valance.

I am gonna go ahead and order this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_3512wt_1167

And then for the grill. Can I do this. Buy this http://www.partsgeek.com/gbproducts/...ek+Google+Base

and then I would get it Painted to match the truck and then add something like this billet grill into it http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-07...ht_3226wt_1167


ALSO. how does the bottom grille stay onto the bumper? Does it need a surround like a normal grille?
