Facelift 4.8 Front Bumper question
 

i tried to search but got confused. Came across a couple of P/N but didn't get the answer i need. I am looking for the 4.8 bumper below with the bottom part painted. There are couple of part numbers i got, but when i look it up on realoem.com, its shows the exact same illustration without the special bottom part. Can anybody tell me the P/N for this bumper?

Hello,

I'm not sure what was your exact question but, when I got my 4.8 front bumper,
it was just whole black plastic bumper. it needs to get painted upper and bottom.
there is no special bottom part, it's just one piece bumper.

I guess didn't make myself clear, my apologies.....anyway, here is the regular bumper and bottom part is not meant to be painted. See the difference? I want the bumper for 4.8is (above) and when i look it up online, it shows me the regular bumper pics on all of the P/N i run even if my vehicle was a 4.8is.

now I see your point!
ok, that black painted bumper is for 4.4i, and there are 4 different part numbers.

1. 51117129294 just primed front bumper.
2. 51117129297 with PDC and Headlight Washer
3. 51117129295 with PDC
4. 51117129296 with Headlight Wahser

since you are looking for 4.8 bumper, you won't need those.

you should chooes one from these 4.8 bumpers.

1. 51117146579 just primed front bumper.
2. 51117146578 with PDC

I only see 2 bumpers for 4.8, it seems like headlight washer option is a standard option for 4.8.
also, I've checked realoem.com, it shows same bumper illustration for both 4.4 and 4.8

Good luck!

wuzin, you're the man! The illustration was confusing, at least i have it now :bow: :bow: :bow:

it's a whopping $692 plus shipping from mileoneparts.com. Since you have been selling stuffs lately, any chance you are selling your front bumper? lol, just kidding.

no problem! :thumbup:
