I have to agree with you. I like the looks of the ARB on the older van vs. the newer. I'm trying not to let it bug me...I don't want to design my own front bumper right now.
As for costs...
-$1420 for the bumper with shipping
-$87.40 ARB 6821201 Fog Light Kit For Deluxe ARB Bumpers
-$126.61 ARB 5100150 Sahara Bar Accessories (rubber bumpettes)
-$295 plus shipping Adapter brackets (either body style, powdercoated with hardware)
'08+ body style
-~4 hours to trim top edge and relocate internal braces
-Depending on winch chosen, there may be more custom fab work involved.
'07 and earlier body style
-~4 hours to trim top edge, trim internal ribs and relocate internal braces
-~4 hours to reshape ends of bumper to fit wheel well
-Depending on winch chosen, there may be more custom fab work involved.
Finishing
-This is going to be largely dependent on your powder coating vendor but my guy had the previous finish burned off, then the bumper was sandblasted then primer base then finish coat.
