I stumbled upon a f150 front bumper for an 06-08 f150.I called the store and they said it was an aftermarket part, not original. It would cost me $214 shipped (great price). but would do you guys think about an aftermarket part.

 

were did you find this? i am also looking for a new front bumper

 

pics?

 

Its basically a replica of the f150 roung fog light hole bumper for an 06-08 model. have any of you had an experience with an oe fit aftermarket bumper.

 

Aftermarket stuff doesn't fit like oe the higher the price the better the fit. With that said insurrance companies mostly use aftermarket.

 

i got an "OEM quality" unpainted metal 06-08 bumper off ebay for $215 shipped.

Looks to be good quality and i wouldnt hesitate to buy it again. still need to have it powder coated but im just dreading putting it on

 

I bought an aftermarket valance for my truck and had no problems. If you are concerned, ask them if it is a CAPA certified part. They are independently inspecected for fit and finish. If not then a CAPA certified part will be more money but still less than the Ford dealer.
