Check out my original bumber... it was given to me, but it had a huge bend in it and one of the bumperettes was pretty mangled also. So... I decided to cut out the bend in the bumper fix the bumperette. While cutting out the bend I shortend it by around 4 inches, (I kind of like the look a little better) and I welded the Bumperettes to the bumper, giving it a little more sleek kind of look. Oh and the fog lights I decided to flush mount instead of mounting on top or bottom... Let me know what you think!! Still working on the rear.

I've always thought the stock bumper was too wide. Your new width is how Ford should have built that bumper 40 years ago.

VERY nice job and makes for a nice, clean front end!

Amen to that! I don't think I have a pair of dress pants that don't have a rip in the leg from where I rounded the front of the truck too close when I am in a hurry to get somewhere.;D;D;D

I agree with that. Can't tell you how many pairs of pants I've ruined by snagging them on the front bumper.

Awesome! I cut out 4" on either side of my bumper in the fall. The stock bumper was too wide but I'm sure it protected a lot more than this one will - but it looks SO much better.

It looks good to me. I may have put the fog lights in the center (shelby look) but that is a minor thing. Nice work!

I was going to put them in the middle actually like you said. But I had my brother and father look at it and we decided we liked it more on the outside.

I never even thought about lights in the stock bumper, that looks clean!
