Default Question about a winch bumper

Since I was hit and my plastic spoiler underneath my front bumper was damaged I got a check to pay for a new bumper. I was just wondering, since I plan on getting a winch bumper anyways, if when I install the WB would I have to remove that spoiler anyways? If so then I will just keep the check and put it towards my winch bumper fund.

Keep the money in your winch bumper fund and do it right.

Is airfare included in your proposal Chris? If so I'll come take a look too, it's back up to 100 again here in AZ.

Are you referring to the air dam that would house the lower fog lights? Yes, that will be removed with any winch bumper install. BTW, I'm selling my winch bumper, steering skid, and possibly winch too. Let me know if interested.

The WHOLE BUMPER will come off kiddo and the winch bumper will replace it.
So yeah, save your money.

You also have the option to just remove all the plastic pieces from your existing front bumper, or just trim off the lower broken portions of the spoiler. Then you can use the money for something else?

Several guys on here have done it. Here's an example I found online...
