Anyone try the Skinz rear bumper? Will 2009 bumper fit 2007?

[RedPhazer]

Hi Guys,

So I was pricing out replacement bumpers for my Phazer and the 2009 bumpers are about 70 bucks cheaper than the 08 and 07 parts. I can't imagine there is a difference, but does anyone know if the 2009 rear bumper is different in any way? Will the 2009 rear bumper fit my 2007? For reference, here are the part numbers and prices that I found from an online source. The 2009 bumper at about $103 seems like a pretty good price.

Thanks in advance for any help with this issue!

I'd go with a skinz rear bumper just like the look of em. $120/or so not a bad deal for it.

Or Ebay has a stock one forsale:

I had the GYTR bumper but choose to go back to stock because of the crappy design of the tabs that support the snowflap. See my post:

I'm going back to the stock steel bumper. It looks like they got smart and braced the snowflap brackets on the newer model. The Skinz doesn't look too bad, but I want to keep my stock front bumper so my Yamaha cover will fit and I would like my bumpers to match.

Has anyone tried the Skinz aluminum bumber for the Phazer? I'm looking for some feedback. The GYTR bumper I had was a piece of crap. I was going to get a stock bumper but am now considering the Skinz. I had some storage attached to my old GYTR bumper (see pic). I will not be able to mount the storage to the stock steel bumper, but I could probably mount them to the Skinz bumper. So, what is the verdict on the Skinz bumper for the Phazer?

Thanks for your advice!
