I ask this because the owner didnt know how low this car sat so it ran up a cupple curbs and broke almost all the bottem bolts and bent it all up (the bracket) i want to now like it i start getting speed without this on with the bumper start to shake from the wind?
 
Can you take the bracket off and bend it back how it's supposed to be? If your missing those support brackets then yes wind will make the bumper shake at speed. If you're missing one then you can try to fab one out of sheet metal if you have the resources.
 
Check with autopartswarehouse.com They should have it for cheaper then the stealership.
 
I custom made my own supports with pieces of flat bar steel. When my stock supports broke it did shake but only at an excess of 80 mph.
 
better off making your own. but try to make it not look bad.. or check other places then the dealership because their stuff is about 50% marked up. i wish you luck man..
 
Hey bro from experience you do need the support bracket. not only will the bumper vibrate and stuff while you drive but you could crack your the bottom edge of the bumper it sucks. i am the idiot on bumper number 3. you could always try the yard of tears, the junk yard see if you can get one off of one of those. it would probably be about the cheapest way unless you make it. probably cost under 30-50 bucks depending on how you make it.
 
i know thats a really bad pic but thats sorda what ima make it look like, i dont really have lights metal (step dad only steals heavyer stuff from steel mill) so.. i need to cut up a old fender from something
