I'm looking for a light weight, well made, rear bumper, and I'm not willing to do any cutting of the frame. I've looked at Evo and Spyder. I like both of these, but again don't want to cut.

Any suggestions?

Pay a lot for them but they are really light! The aluminum ones they claim to be just as strong as their steel versions...This comes from my buddy that works there.

EVO doesn't have a rear bumper. They have the d ring mounts and it isn't required you cut the frame with them.

That's the EVO I saw and I really like that however to have the same look, with the d rings flush mounted you need to cut. This is what I'm looking for.

Ok, but to be clear it is not a requirement.

Evo bumper in aluminum is probably the lightest rear bumper

Just a ball park, what would be the time, and cost involved, and is there any down falls to cutting the frame. I know there are many variables with cost, but say 1hr labour is $100.

Cheers.

Not sure what a shop charges around you, but it should not be more than 1/2-1hr.

It's very minimal grinding,

My homemade version of the fascia panel weighs 14 pounds in steel

Ok so I'm looking closer at EVO products. Does anyone know if the rear fascia works with factory hitch, and trimming the frame horns, are we talking just an inch or two;back to the cross member?

I ask because I say no instructions on their site.

Cheers,
