Check out Move™ bumpers! You can get a weld it yourself kit decently cheap compared to other brands and they look just as nice!

I thought about doing that but I don't think my welder will work cause I have a cheap 90 amp flux welder from harbor freight

It's only 3/16. Should only need 40 amps to get solid penetration. Eventually I'll have move bumpers as well. Just with no light holes and a added winah plate.

Holy crap but those are nasty. Do they come with free Affliction shirts and Monster energy drinks?

it would be fine. turn it all the way up use a medium wire speed and be patient. Cnat weld to much in one area or it will warp.

Who ever welded that did a great job, and the paint match is perfect. Well done sir!
