I'm guessing that is a fiberglass bumper. Looks good to me. I like the flush mount bumpers. What color you going with?

that is an original steel highly modded bumper/alot of cutting and welding and grinding.

You did a nice job on it. I can see the steel in a few spots. Tucked in tight and you removed the bolt holes. Maybe shortened?

Looks great... I did the same thing, but ran into another problem. After bringing the bumper in, it made the Tail light Bezels appear to be way over-sized..

I had to machine them down to make them sit deeper in the Tail Panel to compensate. I removed alot of material from the the over all diameter along with the over depth. The rear panel where the lights mounted had to be completely cut out and new attachment points made. I always thought the factory bezes were way to big anyway.

If you look closely, you will notice that the outer most bezel ridge had been removed which only leaves a single ridge in place. This narrowed and brought the light in alot tighter..
