Re: 68c10/c6
I like where your going with the bumper! I don't like the raised plate mount area much myself. I might consider radiusing the bottom of the center opening to make it more resemble the grill openings maybe? Just a thought.

Re: 68c10/c6
Thanks for the input Mike we did start with a cutout like the grill but after multiple opinions we opted to shape it like the radius at the top of the fenders I still need to fill it in it's not done that's just a cut opening the opening will reduce once that's done!

Re: 68c10/c6
No! Thanks for the compliment... I'll be painting mine to match the rest of the trim & wheels! I've decided on a more aggressive look for this truck!

Re: 68c10/c6
The rear looks good. How did you make the lower separation trim?

Re: 68c10/c6
I bought some 5/8 wide 1/4 round aluminum strips and bent them using a pulley and a 4" break! The cool thing is you can chrome it or powder coat it in my case I'm going to powder coat all the trim to match!

Re: 68c10/c6
That rear end will look good when you're done with it! Love what you've done with the front end!
