Default Bumper end caps

So i'm looking for some help with a stock front bumper. I've taken off the front fender flairs on my '98xj and trimmed them back. I went a head and ditched the plastic corners of the front bumper and the plastic trim on the bottom and around the fog lights. What i'm looking for is something to cover the ends of the bumpers. Has anyone bought them? Whats a good brand, good price, and where to buy them? If anyone has some pictures that would be awesome. I'm not ready to drop the cash on a new bumper just yet.



Thanks,

Brad

Try cutting the bumper at an angle on both ends, looks great. I'll post a pic in a minute or two.

I like that. I was thinking about doing it but what about the horn? I didnt want it exposed and bash it against something on the trail. I'll admit i havnt really look to hard at the angle if i were to cut it. Thanks for the pics.

No problem. The horns easily relocate under the hood, same with the vacuum ball. It took about ten minutes with some masking tape and an angle grinder.
