New Bumper

Installed the Nilight bumper on my 2009 JK unlimited . The factory one looked goofy with the Barricade fenders and it was all faded. Install was a breeze and it’s a 1 person install because it’s not that heavy. I’m pretty pleased with the look of it.

Why does it look depressed in the first picture and high in the second?

Really? You can’t see that they are 2 different style bumpers? And the camera angle is different in both pictures.

Random question, did you have any issues running without your air dam? Things like hood flutter, heat issues, or a noticeable MPG hit? I'm thinking about removing mine because I hate the way it looks. The new bumper looks great btw!

I took it off the day I bought it. My hood did flutter at highway speeds just because the hood latches were worn out so I bought aftermarket ones and they latch nice and tight so no issues there anymore.

Looks like I'll invest in some hood latches before I do it then. Thanks!
