It's on the proper side if you run a duct from the bumper to the air intake. Looks like he has a seal around the outside, not a burn mark.

Looks legit to me, nothing to see here people.

It looks like an HR bumper, so it could be for the intake on the left... although it could be from an 06....

I understand that, but a lot of people use ducting to draw the cold air from the front bumper. You may not have tubing small enough diameter to make the bend directly down from the intake, so you run it to the other side.

I don't think the air is going to be any colder on the right side than the left...and at that point its not "ram air"...its "misdirected air"

He probably got a toe hitch pierced through the bumper, went home, cut it a little bigger to "clean" it up. Put some rubber trim/weather stripping around the hole and decided to sell it on CL.

Edit: just realized B18ccivics had the conclusion.

Maybe we can reserve this front bumper for dugan33. He needs a bumper since Thanksgiving.
