Hello. I just replaced my OEM bumper with a MOPAR steel bumper. In doing so, you remove the plastic molding piece that goes between the back of the OEM bumper and the grill. Now the space is just empty. Does anyone make a piece to replace that plastic molding? The original cannot be reused, because it cannot be reattached along the back of the top of the steel bumper.

I wish I had that much room between the back of the bumper and the grill. Great for a winch. I'd call that good. Looks cool too, old school bro, nice. 👍

I put a winch there. :like:

Looks like you're missing the skid plate though.
Yep,
Mine is similar. I gave up the plastic skid plate for nothing I think.

If you are getting a winch use the items below, the other two posts are wrong.

Kit contains:

Item # 7FX60RXFAA - Passenger's side Closeout Panel

Item # 7FX61RXFAA - Driver's side Closeout Panel

Great - thanks.
I have a brand new one that I bought from quadratech and didn't need. I am guessing shipping would be too much or I would sell it cheap. this part 6BU43RXFAC

So, just to clarify, and thanks for all the input, I have this:

it just doesn't show up well in the photo. What it turns out that I need is this and I just ordered it:

And I am going to replace the skid plate; I just don't have it yet. Again, thanks to everyone for the help.

I would have sold you a new one for $15 plus shipping.
