I have a bunch more pics, but here is a few. You can tell the paint doesn't match even though it was supposed too. eh... good enough I guess. I kinda like the bar grille a little more than the honey comb one now, looks tougher to me. I do wish the corner lights lined up a bit better to the headlights. They look fine but up close the gaps are off and not the same on both sides. But I guess that's what you get from a product from overseas. It did come with new headlight bulbs which was nice since one of mine has a bubble on the side of it! Even better would have been new turn signal lights.
So does anyone know how to line up this damn bumper even on both sides by yourself? I'd get one side up tight and then couldn't move the other side an inch! so I'd try it the other way and the opposite would happen?! anyway I got it sorta straight/level. Its 2am Im not going for perfection at this moment! So let me here your thoughts/whine/pro/cons whatever, I can take it even if you think it looks like ***, let me know.

I think they look good who the hell cares if the paints off a touch at least it's one color and not a calico truck..I'm sorry but I get tired of seeing blue trucks with red doors and green fenders...how expensive is a can of paint just to get it a solid color. Lol

Thats good to hear man! Those Hella Floods were on my Jeep wrangler and I kept them when I sold the jeep. They aren't hooked up yet but I just wanted to see if I liked the look. I'm so dead from staying up late getting this done... good thing work was canceled today because of the snow!

ok fellas I need your help. I was gonna go OBX shorties on this bad boy.... but I have a close friend who has an off road shop that can get me better deals on JBA or BBK shorty headers. And from what I've read those are way better quality SOOO....
Which are better? and if I can spring for ceramic which ones should I get the JBA Silver or Titanium finish? to many damn options! I'm leaning more towards the JBA since the tubes look longer = better flow. Also they have the added "fire cone" ooh aaahh! Whats your thoughts fellas?
