Crash Parts Plus Textured Front Bumper Cover Replacement for 2007-2015 Jeep Wrangler

Excellent Bumper Cover, Excellent price
I was skeptical, but excellent Bumper Cover, and much more cost effective than OEM part. Makes you feel less bad about those unexpected run ins with a tree, rock....or parked car. I have 3 JKs....two nearly new. Once the cover was on the older Jeep, it was indistinguishable from the new ones. I am going to keep a UV protectant on all the plastic parts to keep them looking new. Lots of good ones out there (not Armor All).It would have been nice if it had instructions. I couldn't find instructions or video anywhere on the web. But it is pretty simple once I discovered that taking out the bolts holding the bumper cover to the Metal Impact bar wasn't going to get the old one off. The nuts for those bolts are molded into the cover, and will likely just pull out. But even if they thread out cleanly or strip out, the cover can't be removed because of the tow hooks.It can be removed by just taking the Air Dam off the bottom of the bumper, but much easier if you take the cover off the top of the bumper (I believe this is called the "Lower Cover?"). You will probably bugger up one of the plastic screw retainers.....secret is to not push so hard while turning that the screw won't thread out. But if you mess one up, you can put everything back on less the dam & "lower cover" anddrive the car until you get a replacement from the dealer or cheaper 3rd party ones. Unplug the fog lights, and pull out the xmas harness retainers out of the Impact Bar....use a trim tool or scredriver to wiggle them out. You don't want to screw these up, as they are part of the harness, but I believe 3rd party retainers are available if you do. Then remove the 8 nuts that sandwich the tow hooks in between the impact bar and the frame. They are bound to be rusty, so will likely need a breaker bar, or big wrench or wratchet (even with soaking in penetrating oil...WD40 or Liquid wrench). Once the 8 bolts are out, then on mine there was a big hour glass shaped washer on each pair of bolts....note the orientation so you can get it back the same way. Then the assembly pulls right off.Once the Bolts holding the Bumper cover are removed (or stripped out) from the Impact Bar, the cover will come right off the Impact Bar and the tow hooks, will be loose too. If the nuts are stripped out from the bumper cover, now you can just spin them off by holding with a vise grip or big pliers.The fog lights can also now be removed etc.If the Impact Bar is bent (mine wasn't) it is a pretty simple piece of metal, and can probably be bent straight, or a new one acquired. It needs to be straight to get the cover back on, and for it to look right on the car.Then putting it back together is basically the reverse.Happy Jeeping.

Excellent replacement for my 2012 Jeep Wrangler
I couldn't be happier with this replacement part. Looks just like the factory front bumper cover, appears to have the same quality, and much less expensive than a factory replacement part. It fit perfectly onto my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Saraha, with no modifications required. I would highly recommend this bumper cover. The picture shows the original part (on the ground) and the replacement part installed on my Jeep.

Works and is just like the original that came with my Jeep 2012 Rubicon
It scrapes and scratches really easy so do not let it touch the concrete during the install, I also rhino sprayed mine after spraying it with 1500 degree proof black spray to make it tougher... it all aligned up perfectly no complaints like the other reviews. I did have to get a heat gun and push back some of the plastic to get the fram bumper to fit but who's to say maybe my bumper was bent so keep that in mind first vehicles move and they bump into things and or get into accidents. Work with what you got this is a good "BUMPer." 15 second heat gun got it right on the money looks good I even replaced my fog lights to LED.

Looks good...Once you get it on.
First off, I knew what I was getting into. The equivalent Mopar part costs 4X a much as this part did. And once it was on, it looks as close to stock as I would want. The only issue was that some of the mounting holes didn’t line up properly so I had to get my Dremmel involved. Not a huge issue because I had the proper tool for the job, but if I didn’t, I would have been stuck. Overall; great for the money.

2015 Jeep Wrangler...oopsy!
If you have read some of the reviews on this site.....The picture with the crunched in bumper on the right front side is exactly what happened to my jeep!I was quoted anywhere from $250. to $400. to have the bumper fixed....ugh! So I read the reviews and bought the bumper for 100. dollars and had my "SO" install it......It looks looks brand new! So, first know the bumper is a great price, value, the real thing, my jeep looks brand new! Highly recommend!The installation, however took over 2 hrs. The bolts are hard to reach, I recommend watching the You Tube or Quadratec tutorial...it was really helpful! Happy Jeeping!Overall a great purchase!Dawn

Exactly What I Ordered
Just finished installing. Steep learning curve. Too bad, as I'm now probably pretty good at this procedure which I hope I never need to do again. *Entire bumper needs to be removed to accomplish replacement, as bumper tow hooks need to come out. * Have metric sockets available. Deep sockets are handy but not necessary. * Four bolts hold plastic bumper to metal bumper. I had the pleasure of a seized bolt, requiring me to hacksaw that end off of the old plastic bumper in order to then cut bolt. * Eight nuts hold metal bumper on. * Unplug the fog lamps. Make sure cables are out of the way when you put the bumper back on (unlike me). * Plastic bumper required a little persuasion (small crowbar in the hole for the bumper hooks) to line up the bolt holes fastening the plastic to metal. * You'll need to punch holes to mount fog lamps and license plate.Looks like new!

Please read
My old Jeep bumper covers color started fading and didn’t want to spend much on replacements. But o could have spent $50 more and been happy. The texture in this bumper is different. Like it’s missing texture in some areas. On top of it being scratched when I got it. The wholes did not alight with the metal part on my Jeep. Was supposed to be a quick install with me and my dad. Instead it took up 5 hours to complete the job. My bumper liner got stuck in it and it was just horrible. It took us forever to get it on and it’s stuck so we can’t return it with out damaging it. Would definitely recommend something else. Will be messaging the buyer
