Modular bumper , paint or wrap ?

[grillcheeseRaptor]

I love ford for painting the middle section grey but what’s the best way to fix this ? If paint, does the middle part come off or painted on the truck ? Any issues ?

I’ve gone back and forth on how to black out mine (not modular though). Still can’t believe Ford did it this way.

-I got a quote for $500 to powder coat

-I can get wrap for about $100 and try it myself, $500 through installer.

- I’ve found R bumpers for $400 up depending on condition and if lights are included.

- I remember someone on here rattle canning there’s, not sure how it holds up.

- haven’t gotten a quote on paint yet but I expect it to be pretty comparable.

After all that you have to figure out how to black out the parking sensors properly.

Take it off -> LineX is the only right answer.

Yeah I just feel like with wrap less chance of them messing things up .

Gen 2 guy here- Powdercoated my bumper and skid plate to match.
Don’t paint it, it won’t last if you offraod.

Here's full LineX for thought.

Depends, do you gave a 2024? If so… look for a R bumper. Buy it, then sell yours off. You will probably break even.

21-23, pull it, powdercoat it to match. (Cadillac grey is a pretty darn close perfect match).

Do the relocated parking sensors still work properly if you put the '24 bumper on an older Gen3?
