i bet nobody noticed this...
i bet nobody has noticed this on my truck...(on my just washed truck thread)...
heck i walked around my truck 4 or five time before i ever bought it inspecting it and never noticed it...then a week later i was at home washing it and i noticed i could fit my fingers under that part of the grille to wash, and i seen why...
i even asked the sales lady what was on the carfax report, it said nothing about a bumpup...or at least she didnt tell me...
but i know its been in some bumpup bc its not the plastic that is bowed up like that, its the bumper underneath. im just going to have my body man heat it up and fix it for me...
still it aggrevates me...
hey does anyone have a carfax subscription that they would look my truck up on?

nope...new to me...
id rather buy a gently used one...it was 25000 brand new (it still has original winsdow sticker in manual), i got it with 27000 miles on it and got it for 10500 dollars cheaper than a brand new one...sooo
but yeah iit aggrevates me that its there, but its either buy a new bumber (the one underneath plastic) or just heat it up and beat it back ito place...im taking option 2...

If you buy a new bumper I will pay shipping for your old one. I need a new one.

i hop when i fix it that the plastic doesnt retain that bump...it shouldnt though bc the bump is right there where the plastic fastens to the bumper...

Yea...06+ are all bumper covers. You can't just replace the upper bumper like you can on 05 and older trucks...The covers are push pinned into the metal frame that is actually the bumper. All you are looking at, is a bumper cover. After first noticing this on Marie's truck during the bodylift, I've noticed it on alot of 06+ trucks. Ford is taking a car attribute(bumper covers) and applying it to trucks...
I call it 'waves' or 'ripples'. I wonder if you took that cover off, or just lifted it off the metal bumper, then sprayed in some adhesive, then pushed down, if that would cure this wave?
virtually same area the OP circled...

i think the way your bumper is in your avatar, isnt very good. It looks ok, but judging by the picture, its soo close to the fenders, its probably rubbing. The reason there was a gap between the bumper and the body is so they wont rub on each other.
