Talking Frontier Xtreme Frontend Replacement

I'm really considering getting the bumper for my truck when my tax refund roles in . What do yall think about it, good, bad? Or should I maybe do the full frontend replacement? The xtreme is $775 and the full is $850.

i like the extreme the best... never been a fan of the headlight wrap arounds...

if you get one of these you are going to have to do something about the rest of the chrome on your truck...

I think this one looks the best to be honest.

The other has just too much clutter and doesn't look good around the headlights.

Holy S*** those things are beastly . . . and I'm with Hemi, I'd prefer a road armor bumper or custom made one ^_^ if I ever got one. But for OP, exnay on the full.

Ya the road armor bumper are bad *** but i dont wanna spend that kinda money on a bumper. I use to have the full frontend replcement on my last truck and this kid pulled out infront of me and i hit the rear passenger side of his car. It held up nicely.

Those bumpers would look cool if you live on a farm. They have a real tough look, like a work truck. But not like a bad azz offroad machine.

if your truck sees 5% pavement, I'd say go for it.
