New Installs From The Weekend

Heres some things I changed and installed on my truck over the weekend.

I changed out the Chrome bumper and installed a black one, got a new lower valance and painted it black. Put on a black bugdeflector. And my final touch of the weekend, a Black Grill Guard with PIAA 520's.


Pre-change

Front Naked

Finishing Touch (bad angle I know)

haha. Funny story w/the bumper. The company actually sent me the wrong black bumper so I painted my chrome one so I could have a black bumper till I got my real black bumper in.

is it me, or does the grill guard seem to be extending out beyond the sides of the corner of the truck a little far? i have the same set up, but on mine there is only about 2 inches of space between the corners of my truck and the guard

i just noticed that the grill guard is different than mine. the front vertical bars on mine are angled, to follow the outer edge of the grille. i have a westin sportsman grill guard. Herm's must be a Manik.
