EDIT: Wanted to add my truck started as a Pro. If you have the Lariat or Platinum this bumper might not work. It only has 4 front proximity/radar sensor holes.
I thought my Tremor build was complete until I saw another lightning owner post his modular bumper install a few weeks ago on Reddit. I can't take credit for being the first. I'm stoked how it turned out. It really finished up the build and looks oem. I think if Ford built this trim it would've looked pretty close to this. Part list below. The Modular bumper is 3 sections, the 2 side "wings" and a center section shared with the Raptor R/37 and Tremor 402a package. It has mounting points in the center for aux lights, bull bars, or even a winch. The tremor side wings have single fog lights. You'll probably want to mount a Raptor skid plate to complete the look. I mounted one up previously, trimmed for the stock bumper. You can get it looking better if you trim it for the modular bumper. Mine has a bit of a gap but I don't feel like starting over. I painted the side wings avalanche, center section magnetic gray, and the lower part ingot silver to match the skid plate. The bumper sections came black.
As for the parts, it's easier and cheaper to source the center section from ebay. Most are dealer take offs. Look for a Raptor 37 or Raptor R used bumper, the base Raptor bumper is one piece, won't work. Make sure the one you pick comes with the 2 bumper mounts. On the pictures of the back side, look for plates with 3 long bolts sticking out. Also make sure it comes with the center grill trim and the 2 covers that go on the sides of the center grill. Lastly see if it has the radar mounting plate. Your going to discard the raptor side wings and mounting brackets. Save all the hardware, you reuse some when mounting up the tremor side wings. I was able to find the fog lights new on ebay sold as a kit, China knock off. It came with the brackets. The rest of the parts I bought new from ford. If your shopping online watch the shipping charges, that's where they get you.
For Install, you have to remove the frunk tub, upper facia, and the mounting bracket to reach the bumper bolts. I removed my wiring harness from the stock bumper and wired it up to the modular bumper. I was able to swap the adaptive cruise control radar to the modular bumper, but had to swap it to the mount specific to the modular bumper. Luckily my ebay center section came with it. When mounting the modular bumper up I left the side bumper wings loose, tip from the reddit post. Then tightened them after I got the bumper tightened down and the upper facia installed. The only problem I ran into was getting the upper facia back on. It's a very tight fit with the modular bumper, pain in the ass. I hope I never have to take it back off. I ended up trimming the rubber pieces on top of the side bumper wings. After lot's of curse words and sweat I finally got it seated and clipped in. Maybe you could put the facia on first and then mount the bumper, tighten the bolts from underneath. I was too stubborn to back track and start over at that point. I wired the fogs to my aux switches.

bumper but you have to trim the rubber gaskets that go around the hooks.
