Build/buy a new front bumper. I'm partial to building one, but if you want a low cost upgrade, then just build off of the existing bumper. I've done that with my stinger, its worked great for pushing things and has survive some hits the past two years. Finally upgrading though.

Do you mean the entire bumper or just the plastic pieces that come on them?

If its just the plastic corner parts, I have seen people make a bumber and extend it towards the rear flare where that used to be but you have to cut and fold your rear corners.

I think

If you want a "cool" bumper, then custom fab or buy one. Kind of confused on what you want.

When I can afford it id like to get completely new front and rear bumpers. What id like to do for now is take the existing corner plastic bumpers off and somehow make it look pretty decent untill I can afford the bumpers. Also eventually cut the fenders then put on the flares, thankyou all so much for the input, pics also are a huge help!!
