Default Rear Bumper Selection help

I've been out of dodge for a while, but came back home to get some much needed advice from the gurus. I'm finally going to pick up my rear bumper, which is needed before I can begin adding/installing my most recent purchases(my current excuse for my delayed start). Once I have the bumper I'll be able to install my headers, prochamber, over axle pipes and mufflers....so in a way i couldn't start unless I was planning on cutting my current rear bumper. Long story short....i had though i found the best deal out there on the GT/CS Accessory Kit Bumper (6R3Z-6320049-BA) for $362.98 here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/05-09-Ford-M...5#ht_500wt_921

BUT...then I do some more reading and find out that I could also pick up the replacement GT/CS rear bumper (REPF760106P) for $246.61 here:

http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts/re...0106prear.aspx


Am I missing out on much by getting the replacement bumper instead? I currently have the stock v6 s197 bumper. Any help or added info would be much appreciated!

Huh, that's weird. I would've never thought to look at stylintrucks haha. The best I've seen is at latemodelrestoration.com for $349 and that doesn't include freight shipping charges... I just bookmarked this page.

What's weird about the ebay post is that it's for a rear air dam? What the heck is that? Do they mean rear bumper cover? Or did they somehow cut off the section below the usually painted area of the bumper? Because 13 bucks to ship a full bumper cover seems really iffy.

I'm confused, but honestly, the stylintrucks.com ad seems legit. I'd call first to speak with someone though.

Where do you see that? When I click your link it brings me to the main page and I searched for the bumper and I find Shelby GT and GT500 rears (same as the GT/CS) for $307...

DON'T buy from that truck website. Buy from a reputable source, and definitely look into these things before hand. The bumper from stylin trucks is actually an OE replacement, as in NOT from Ford. That means the warranty is worthless and the bumper is not made to the same standards as Ford's.
