versus the aftermarket lightning bumper covers i see on ebay ??? i ask because im going to be putting one on my expy, and from the pictures ive seen they seem a bit oversized. i want it to look just like the ones i see on lightnings.






anyone have experience with these aftermarket lightning style bumpers ? are they the same as oem (i know thats a stupid question)

this one has holes on the side

another one, no hole

i guess my question is, does it look the same ?? you guys actually own lightnings so im pretty sure you would be better at telling differences between the oem and the aftermarkets.

 

i dont know if you have the same size bumper as the lightning but the one on the expedition looks like ours but the one on that f150 doesnt in your first post. we dont have that little scoop in the bottom corner. ive never seen a bumper cover on a lightning in the first place though

 

The Abc one looks like the closeset your going to get to the real thing.

 

dont listen to me i didnt know what you were talking about at first. check out latemodelrestoration.com they have a bunch of bumpers

 

they used to have the real deal on fordracing.com but i couldnt find it anywhere...

Id cruise around on NLOC or SVTperformance for a while, b.c every now and then someone will sell a stock one.

 

You can buy the real one from Ford - $450....

 

I just bought one, someone here told me it was forsale on svtperformance.com. The guy lived 100 miles from me, seven bills but I had to buy all new brackets, impact bar, upper billet grille & assembly, billet lower grille because my trucks a "97."
