Sorry if I'm being "that new guy" with all the questions lol. I'm looking to not only replace, but upgrade my front bumper to be able to add OEM style fog lights since mine is bent in the front. I did a Google search and found this.

https://www.carparts.com/details/Ford/Ranger/Replacement/Bumper/2001/KIT1-082917-13-A.html?TID=gglpla&origin=pla&gclid=Cj0KCQiAlIXfBRCpARIsAKvManyUohP4wu0CmkCNYOK49xo-RQsb4oIeNJnr-4hK4QnPlKLgPgqkEsYaAmq8EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I know the saying "you get what you pay for", but anyone have experience from this sight? Good quality parts or cheap not worth it? If I should steer clear any suggestions for good quality without breaking the bank? I've seen LMC and Rock Auto, just looking for other sources as well. Thanks

I'm ok with inexpensive. Last valance I bought was from Ebay. Less than 50 bucks. Fit like a glove looked excellent.

I imagine that source is about Ebay quality.

nothing wrong with Carparts.com that is a good price, however shipping may kill the deal, you're looking at $45+ to ship that stuff just FYI

Only other place to get a price like that would be Certifit, if you have one near you then you can go get the parts for less......
