Just Bought an 06 CTT S model. :) Love it. I need a front bumper-suggestions?
This Car / Truck / SUV ROCKS! Oh My God does it have what it takes. I see this becoming my favorite all time SUV.
Few quick questions:
The front right hand corner of the bumper was torn off in a bender. I'm looking for a replacement. Guess I prefer stock but am willing to use whatever fits and has enough holes in it for all of the options. Do you have any suggestions on where I should look for a bumper?
The vehicle has red lights at the windshield, I don't know what these are for. Any ideas?
We I look at my tire pressure it doesn't list them. It's as if the vehicle has not sunk up with the pressure sensors. Is this common? How do I fix it?
I also need to install a tow hitch. Got any write ups on how to do this or which hitch I should get? Only towing an inflatable boat.
Any help appreciated.

Regarding the TPMS sensors. The batteries might be dead and they require the whole TPMS unit to be replaced since the batteries are built in. The life expectancy of the TPMS is about 5-6 years.

Thanks, I'm buying new tires in the morning and having them inflated with nitrogen. Hopefully I won't need the pressure sensors. Add to that that I'm old school and actually get out of my car and check the psi with a gauge.

I bought a rear bumper cover from these guys..... http://www.prestigebumpers.com/20pocatufrbu.html
Looks like it's on sale for about $450 with shipping. Probably not a bad price but then you'll have to get it painted too. They were good to deal with and mine looks fine. I still haven't gotten it painted and put on though.
I am always looking on my local Craigslist too, there are some on my local one now for less and would save shipping. I'd try that too. Ebay might be another good source too. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...er&_sacat=6000
Just make sure you get the right one, ie with or without parking sensor, turbo not S or GTS etc. The swap should be pretty straightforward.
Oh and for the TPMS yours may not be equipped with them. My 2005 CTT doesn't have TPMS.
Good luck and congrats on the purchase, these beasts can be a lot of fun!!!

Judubbya you ROCK! You picked the exact thing that I needed. I just bought it. Hopefully the 06 CTT has the same nose piece as the 06 CTT-S.
It's going to take a while to get this but I've paid and am now waiting.
Thank you for helping out.
