I don't know what bumper you are trying to buy, but if its the CS/GT, check with your local Ford dealer before you buy from AM or CJ or any other sellers. The dealer list on that bumper is only 399. That is the kit with the side inlet covers, lower panel, end plates (to install the bumper) and all the hardware. If you go online and check it from Ford, you can get it cheaper. I paid 312.94 from my dealer in Alaska. Another guy just bought one for 344 in KS. You have to get an online quote and take it to the dealer. You will pay less than the 399. Check your local dealer for the cost of the original fender also. You might be surprised. I had to buy a SuperDuty fender the other day, and it was cheaper from the dealer than I could go aftermarket. You just have to do your checks before buying. Good luck.

The part number for the frt cover kit is 6R3Z-6320049-AA. The rear cover kit is 6R3Z-6320049-BA for the CS/GT cover. Just checked your site for your bumper, and that bumper still needs the end plates (9 each or so), 2 covers for the duct covers (25 each), lower panel and mtg tabs (60 total). That alone makes it hard to purchase. You would have about 330 into it when you are all done, counting cost of item, freight and all the adds you need to install it. I think I would pass on it. (Also, could these be rebuilt put together panels. I've seen and read about places that rebuild broken front covers and put them together to make one. Repair and prime and sell. (I don't know if that is the way your guy operates, but that is common in the repair business_).
