mfred2000,
Let me answer your questions.
The bumpers come standard unfinished. We have found that while some people never use their bumpers and love the durability of powder coating, there is that group that will bang and scratch their bumpers and as such, powder coating can be difficult to touch up. For hard trail use we have seen more of a trend to rattle can the bumpers simply for the ease of touching it up after a rock rashing. Powder coating is available for $150 as well as a professional spray on liner for the same price.
Currently the pricing is the same for the LC bumper as the Ford stuff. So $825 list
Te bumper on ardents rig was built as a prototype but still to some of his personal specifications (narrow width) The actual production bumpers will be wider than what was shown on his to accommodate the fender flares. So, Yes, they will be wider. The bottom of the bumper sits flush with bottom of the frame.
We can build anything and I would be happy to add fog light adaptation to a bumper on an individual basis.
The best part: On the basic bumper we will do an early production run and the first 5 orders from ih8mud will get a discount. Basic bumper, unfinished, $850 to your door. All additional options will add to the cost but the basic cost and shipping will remain the same.
Please email your orders to: sales@heftyfabworks.com and include your name, ih8mud username, and shipping info. Once we receive your order we will process it and get back to you with the total and payment options.
Oh, and lastly, where do I sign up to be a vendor here. I feel so crooked not going through the proper channels but can't find it.
I wheel the snot out of that bronco by the way!!!! I own 4 of them

Thanks again!
run-in with a tree on the passenger side wing and it did nothing to the bumper but scratch the paint. That's saying something on the weakest part of this bumper. I've seen ARB models bend under less force than the tree applied... 
) and the kick-outs were the perfect pivot point for maneuvering around several boulders on this trail. I banged and bashed these things and they didn't bend at all! You'll notice that they are not painted. This was because we mounted them on Friday night to go wheelin' Sat. and I didn't feel like painting them twice. Here in CO I could run them for a couple weeks like this before they'd show much more than a couple spots of surface rust, but they'll be painted shortly.
