$200 would be a fair price for the front bumper bar with tow hook tab and splitter tabs. Another $75 for the tow hook and hardware.

We did add a roll over valve and hardware but you can't see it in the picture.

You guys also missed the pictures of the extended ball joint front control arms.

Would you guys be interested in the front bumper beam and if so what is a fair price for it?

Ah yes, I did forget to post that. A little criticism on those arms though. For that price, they should have the bushings already installed. I'm trying to remove the bushings on my stock arms and good gawd if this isnt the biggest pain in the ass ever. I contemplated returning my bushings, and ball joints and buying the arms but for that much, I'll just keep fighting my stock ones.

Also, I think 150-200 would be a fair price for that bumper beam. If I had a good way to mount my heat exchanger, I'd be all over that. Actually, I already inquired about one at Rehagen.

Hey Mark,

I am also interested in the bumper bar with tow hook mount and splitter tabs. I think Steve's numbers ($200 + $75) sound pretty close to me. I mean, this thing isn't nearly as advanced as that baking pan welded to a metal bar that you sold to most of us.

Also, will you be at COTA for Grand-Am? If so, I hope I can run into you again and maybe lend a helping hand.

Mark do you have any tips on how to add that on when it comes time to delete the evap system stuff? My car is going to be de-registered/gutted/caged around mid-year.

re: the bumper bar:
what are the primary benefits? obviously, the mounting tabs for tow hook / splitter...any weight savings or other benefits? and for that matter, downsides?

 

[Jimmy Pribble]

Some benefits:

It is steel and I believe it saves around 6 lbs over the stock part and its almost as far forward as possible so removing this weight is very beneficial. We didn't feel that aluminum was strong enough to support the tow hook. Don't forget that you also save the weight of the splitter bracket by incorporating the stanchion mounts into the bumper.

Some downsides:
It would obviously be an off-road piece only that would affect front-end crash performance in an unproven way. Also, if you hit your shin on that tow hook mount...oh man, that's going to hurt.

Front replacement bumper for Boss 302S will be available mid-Feb under part number M-17757-MB. You will also need to order the tow hook M-17954-A. Full retail is $329 for the bar and $55 for the hook but street price should be substantially less on both.

Oh look, a Valentines Day gift from Mark! Thanks, man. I'm good for one of each.

Thanks Mark, do you know if there will be a big difference where it comes through the bumber cover from the Multimatic front hook? Also can I use the Multimatic hook with this bumber?

 

[mwilson7]

Not sure where the hole comes out on a 12 vs a 13. The MTC hook will work as well.

You guys are the best. I actually don't need this set up as I have already solved the issue on my car, but would have bought the Ford Racing pat if I didn't.

A little piece of a Boss 302S going on my car...

Photos of Tim Brown's new 2013 302S to go along with his 2012 302S. I invited him to join BMO so maybe he'll stop by and comment on his new race car. I'll take one please. 8)

 

[Poole1]

At $85k that seems like a bargain. I want one of these!!

Have seen 1 @ asking price of $ 85K...negotiable !!

Cool video Tim. Did Ford Racing make it for you or is that something you put together?

 

[bbrgt]

A friend of mine put it together , he's pretty talented with video and a great photographer .
