Kevin looks great, did you do the install or the body shop ??
Thanks. Body shop did the bumper modifications and also installed onto the car. Didn't feel like transporting and risking scratching/damaging the new bumper & valence.

I talked to the shop guys and haven't made up my mind if I'll pay them or do it myself since I also want to install the RTR diffuser, since mine is Ingot silver they were talking about blending in on the quarters and I told them no way.....

Looks great!

I really would love to see someone do a custom exhaust tip that matches the actual shape of the opening. I think it could look really high-end and subtle.

there are 2 bumpers , one with the rear parking sensors and one without.
the bumper with the parking sensors
FR3Z-17K835-BB Rear bumper cover with rear park sense option
FR3Z-17F828-AA Rear Valence

FR3Z-17K835-BA Rear bumper cover without rear park sense option
Rear Valence is the same as above.

Note on the Levittown Ford website the bumper without the parking sensors is $138 more.......????

Well I finally switched to the premium bumper and added the RTR diffuser, it took me 4 hours in the driveway...but after it was completed I really like the new look.
Thanks for all the help and advice

I'm pretty sure the OEM valence is cheaper than $200.

I'm picking up a CL valance for $20. I'd check there or yards.

Does the RTR replace the factory valance or is that still needed as well ?

The premium bumper black rear valance is exact to the side and front trim,
the black RTR diffuser matches the factory black valance in color, the factory trim pieces have a grainy texture appearance to them, the RTR diffuser also has a grainy texture but is not as grainy, but from 2 feet away would never notice because there so close.

So to do a premium conversions, it'll be ~$800?

$300 oem premium bumper w/o sensors
$200 oem rear valance
$300 paint
From Levittown ford I paid about 420 for the premium bumper with the sensors and the rear valance as a package , that included tax and core charge from the advertised price of 384. It cost me another 400 to get the bumper painted and then in my case the added expense of the RTR diffuser.

Does the RTR replace the factory valance or is that still needed as well ?
The RTR diffuser is actually made in conjunction to snap together with the factory black valance and can be attached to the bumper separately or together as I did. It's a really good fit and not easy to take apart once together. The factory diffuser portion of the bumper that sits under the black valance trim in stock configuration has to be cut off with a dremel tool (as in the before and after pictures) so the RTR diffuser fits perfectly in it's place.

For those who will just go with the factory premium look, there is no cutting, just attach the factory valance by pushing the valance clips into the bumper slots...

I bought my Mustang without reverse sensors, but just purchased a used premium bumper with sensors and Im wondering if anybody knows what it will take to get them to work.
