You will need new inner fender wells if you want it to look correct. Otherwise the bumper will hand about 2 inches below the current wells. Only other thing I can think of that you may want to look into getting are the fog light housings so that you don't have empty holes in the bumper where they are suppose to go.

good deal. The inner fender wells are pretty cheap as well. However I suggest getting them from your local dealer otherwise shipping is outrageous. That is where I got mine from I just have yet to install them

take your tires off and scrub the inner fenders with a scrub brush, then spray the foaming tire shine or some armor all on them. they will look like new. i do it too all my cars every once in a while.

I was mistaken, the 20 something was only for the front wells and that might have been the online price. I think the dealer was around 30. The rear wells are 2 to 3 times as much.

Yea I was going to do that but if they were cheap enough I wouldn't mind just buying new ones then spraying them with that underbody spray.

lot of mis-information. There is no such thing as ss inner fenders. You do need to buy the right and left lower brackets for the bumper to secure the sides of the bumper.
