    front bumper / valance ... please read, maybe YOU can point me in the right direction

    i see a lot of people running stock front valances with IS lips..?

    can someone explain what the difference between this and the mtech2 front is? (yes..i am an idiot)

    where can i get a stock front bumper and valance, and IS lip...?

    can I put the IS lip on the mtech2 front ?

    i need a new front bumper , valance, lip...splitter?

    I don't know. I need a new front end.

    any suggestions?

    THe is lip just bolts to the standard late model valance, not the mtech II

    the mtech II = $

      yes.

      The iS lip is a plastic stripe that mounts to the bottom of the stock late-model valence. The mtech2 front consists of two pieces - a bumper cover that goes over the plastic bumper core, and a valence cover that goes over the stock late-model valence.

      where can i get a stock front bumper and valance, and IS lip...?
      Post a wanted thread in the wanted subforum. Junkyards. Etc.

      can I put the IS lip on the mtech2 front ?
      No. There are no mount points for the iS lip on the mtech2 front. You can make it fit with glue and drilling and general DIY stuff, but it will look dumb, and probably touch the ground.

      i need a new front bumper , valance, lip...splitter?
      i need a hug?

      I don't know. I need a new front end.

      It seems you have diving boards, since your cab is an early body style. The late-style front end is a direct swap. Go for a late-model valence, plastic bumper, and i or iS lip.

        nah... i've got plastic bumpers...

        currently with an mtech 2 kit.. but it is kinda mangled.. maybe i'll just get my body shop to bring it back to life.

        where can i check to see if the kit on my car is an oem mtech 2 kit, or a copy?
