    Can anyone tell me what these bumper modifications are? I can’t figure out what they’re for. Thank you. upload_2022-2-19_18-58-26.jpgupload_2022-2-19_18-59-1.jpg

    What modification? You have aftermarket bumpers. And the rear is pretty ugly

    Looks like they are justification for heavier springs, especially the monstrosity on the rear. Wow

    Look like self fabricated bumpers.

    These aren’t mine. It’s a car I was looking into buying but then I noticed those bumpers. I agree, they’re awful!! Wasn’t sure if I could remove them and put back normal bumpers. Probably not, oh well! Thanks all for the information! My quest for a V8 continues ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You can certainly remove them and replace with OEM

    They probably had to cut the rear quarter panel to get the back bumper to line up with the body work. Probably wouldn't be able to return to stock bumpers without replacing those, too. And if they chose that bumper front and rear, I'd be questioning their other choices as well haha definitely move on from this one and look for another. Good luck with your search.

    Why do you want the V-8? The V-6 is fine unless you need extra towing capacity.
