Front Bumper..help :(
so today it was raining,
and i was driving to school, (in my 2006 F150) being pretty calm, and when i go to pull into the ONE WAY student parking lot behind someone else, some guy was going the wrong way...this made the guy infornt of me stomp on his breaks, and i ended up hitting him...
long story short..no damage that i saw on his car(was worried bout his little car more than my truck cuz...well im driving a truck why would it get hurt??). and i just looked at my bumper...BIG DENT! doesnt looked creased though..just a good 12 inch wide dent.
so, i talked to some guys at a car shop near where i work, and they showed me how to pop the dent out... cuz a new one form ford is bout $470...
So my co-worker said hit up the junk yard(which im going to try and do on sunday) but now im thinking of just getting an aftermarket bumper instead...
i found one that is paint ready and just going to get a color match. job done...
which leads me to my question:
Anyon know what years fit my 06? i do not have fog lights.
Or how bout anyone know an aftermarket one..i cant seem to find the oen i found before...
any one have bright ideas of what i should do??? this makes me sad..my poor truck.
thanks..
