how much would you pay for...

I'm with the guys who wouldn't take it for free ... in fact, you'd have to fork out a huge wad of cash to even start to get my attention to consider installing one of those on my truck.
Look, let me explain this ... before you think I'm just being obnoxious. Those bumpers are not designed in ANY way to fit the lines, curves, and flow of our trucks. They are just huge, boxy, angled hunks of welded steel plate that look they they go on a Mad Max franken-vehicle, meant for ramming into stuff for no reason. They are heavy, and ugly.
I don't care how well made they are ... they are still "junk" when you consider how they affect the overall look of our trucks.
Of course, that's just my opinion, and I can respect that others don't agree with me. But in the interest of being as honest and open as I can, that's how I feel about those bumpers. I would rather spend triple that to have a totally custom bumper made that fits the design of my truck instead of taking one of those for a discounted price.
Besides that, the way "IRON CROSS" is cut out of that thing ... BARF!!! Seriously ... those things are hideous.

And they look so amazing in the front of tard mobiles that are otherwise completely stock.... Haul that garbage in for scrap. I really love bumpers with big winch openings... and no winches lol. For the mall crawler crowd i suppose... or stuff some more tacky leds in there i guess. If you hit anything with that junk the truck would just crumple anyway like how it's designed to behind it. It honestly really gives you no more strength beyond some front facia damage prevention possibility in low impact situations. If you got really.....lucky it would stop a deer... only to flip it on the hood so it can kick your face off through the windshield....as grotesque as that may sound I know a guy that actually happened to. So no... no thanks. If you are mentally unstable enough to go on a ramming spree pick something a little heavier built than wimpy f150 lol.

Should have mentioned that the only reason I would consider buying it was because it was cheep. If I bought, I would first cut the iron cross logo out and rework a few other things, make openings for a few light bats etc.

Also planned on mounting the licence plate over the winch hole, and filling in the top opening

I personally don't like them either or any big *** bumper/grill guard, especially on an otherwise basically stock truck.
With that being said if you like it who gives a f@*k what other people don't like about it, I'm sure for every person who thinks they look ridiculous there's someone who thinks it looks awesome.

I stay away from Iron Cross products after briefly using a set of their steps-- http://www.realtruck.com/iron-cross-hd-step/ . Steps looked pretty good but they were rust factories. Powder coating was a joke and peeling off within the first week. Rust set in quickly(South Louisiana-- no salt on roads). I sold them for nice loss after a month or two and vowed to never own their overpriced junk again.
Also think the huge logo across the front looks like ***.
