Exclamation NNBS new RAM AIR bumper

Dunkin Donuts parking lot light pole concrete bases are installing ram air bumpers for any idiot that runs square into one. FML. I'm going to some local body guys from some quotes tomorrow.

Rad is fine, just all the bumper parts and the IC need replaced. In the meantime I tugged it out a bit in my back yard. The plasti dip held up pretty good. lol

i was idling in the lot and cut the wheel to swing her into a spot and BAM. never seen it. I have never been in a crash or accident. This is an ego crusher for sure.

shows how weak these bumpers are. I was honestly idle with foot lightly on brake pedal. The corner of the base went right into the middle of my bumper.

First quote was for 1500. They have the oem bumper for 406 and the grille for 340. This is craziness but I guess that's what they are.

Get the parts painted and install yourself. It's not hard at all. I had almost the same thing happen on mine.
