Stock fat lip front bumper damage

I just picked up a 1999 T4R limited with damage to the bumper inside the "fat lip". Anyone know where I can buy just this piece or is the whole thing one piece? I don't really care what color, I can just paint it black.

I would rather just buy a new aftermarket bumper, but like everybody these days I'm trying to save some money. I need to spend my money on getting all maintenance items up to date before modding.

Here's the truck.

Here's the damage.

Wrecking yard if you want to replace it. You could always build a mesh insert to cover. It would be a fun project and you can save money.

I would say total it. It's not worth the repair... :jk:
I would say eBay a new grill piece. I would say junkyard as well but my local junkyards ship all Yotas to Cali I guess for preserving purposes.

I say leave it.

I couldn't even tell what was wrong with it until the close up.....

If you just want to paint it black, then I vote trim it out and build an insert to replace the damaged area. If you can stand it, I also agree that it is hard to see and you could leave it for now.

Good looking rig.

Thanks guys. I think i found my answer on ebay. It is not a separate piece. The entire lower valence is one piece.

I am going to attempt to lightly heat it and bend it back to form.

I agree with you guys, if heating it doesn't work I'm just going to leave it. It is definitely not worth $73 plus getting it painted.
