I have found the STMW (ShowTime Metal Works) bumper on the internet (see the pictures). It costs $1,650 after the discount (originally $2,100). I have searched this forum for information on this bumper, but with no luck.
1. Does it make the Raptor looks more aggressive? (the poll above plus your comments)
2. Does anyone know if the bumper is stronger than the stock bumper? For me it looks flimsy.
3. The bumper does not have integrated fog lights. I see holes in the bumper. I can mount some fog lights (see the second and third pictures), but I would prefer integrated fog lights. Is this a deal breaker? I mean I like the bumper, but should I consider another brand because it does not have fog lights?
4. There is a statement on STMW: “bumpers are made for 2x Rogue4 40" LEDs; other LEDs may require modifications.” A single Rogue4 40" LEDs on STMW website costs $925 with the discount (originally $1,200). Are there other inexpensive light bars that can fit this bumper without modification? One of the important features that I like in this bumper is its two light bars.
5. My Raptor is race red. I am thinking painting the bumper race red and the middle part around the light bars powder coated black (see the last picture to get an idea about what I mean). Do you like this color scheme or should I leave it as it is (powder coated black with the middle white or all black).

I know this is a lot to ask.
