So I have been considering replacing the front bumper skirt on my 75th anniversary latitude edition with a trail hawk bumper skirt. The bumper skirt on the trail hawk is slanted under the body a little more than the other models giving you a better approach angle at the front. Has anyone else noticed that? Also has anyone had the same considerations? I'm wondering what the cost would be, as well as if it would be a direct fit with the latitude. Here are a couple pictures I've pulled off the Internet to show the difference. First one is the latitude. Second is the trail hawk.
I'm looking for them to come up with something to remove that clip and throw in some more protection, but yes I noticed the difference.
So I thought about doing this to my 75th as well! So I did it the easy way! I just traded in my 75th for a TH problem solved! The biggest obstacle I saw was the inter cooler if you have the 1.4L, however the diesel version in Europe uses an intercooler I believe so maybe it's possible. You may have to purchase additional brackets. Someone on here post a cost sheet and it was somewhere around 3k to upgrade body work and all the skid plates from the TH. I the TH front fascia is around 350 with the core charge included. I believe the fog lights are the same minus the brackets. The brackets for the hooks are fairly cheap but the hooks are about 200bucks each!
Hmm seems like a lot just for a different look and a few more degrees of an approach angle. Maybe I'll just end up bypassing on this one haha.
I believe you are right. The inner fenderwells come down a little further on the non-TH models ive read somewhere. Its possible that you could trim them to fit though if you really wanted to save a little cash on the install. But as already said above, seems pretty pricey to do the whole bumper/tow hook swap.
