All, have an 23 OBX/Lux/Adv 4x4 coming and didn't have the option to order the capable bumper when ordering. I also didn't order the mod bumper as my dealer indicated it was likely a constraint item. So, looking to switch from the stock plastic bumper (with fogs) to a capable bumper with fogs. Will the capable bumper come with the forward sensor cutouts, ability to integrate the Adaptive cruise control panel, accommodate the OEM front steel bash plate (once I cut off the the OBX std. tow hooks/or get new brackets), and fit reasonably well? I had read (here) that there might be a large gap between capable bumper and lower grill piece?

Sorry if this is redundant post, but couldn't find anything specific to installing the capable bumper with bash plate and sensors...
TIA!

Some capable bumpers have sensor locations and some don't. Same goes for modular bumper.

Adaptive cruise control should not have any problems.

Yes, steel bash plate will fit once you cut tow hooks or install "correct" mounts for capable/modular bumper.

The standard plastic bumper has a rubber trim piece along the top of the bumper where the capable doesn't. This is what causes a good portion of the gap. Plenty of photos out there to review regarding "gap".
