And these headlights... Im going to take my original headlights and smoke them.. Or retro fit them.. Later on..

Im undecided on my bumper yet... I will probably just get a new stock bumper with fogs... Or without... And line them with some type of bed liner... I really dont want a bottom spoiler... Im going to see what it looks like without one... If i can stand looking at the bumper without a spoiler im not going to order one... This is the 5th spoiler(bottom valence) ive put on the truck... Im tired of it lol..

The front fender is creased... Im going to take a picture of the fender with a good camera.. and have someone photoshop some type of fenderflares on it and see how i like them... If i put fender flares on it would covor up the crease

I still have to find that black piece of plastic on that runs between the bumper and headlights...

Im going to save my old bumper (for template for mounts) ... And my buddy owns a fab/welding shop... Ive did some work for him .. He was supposed to build me a bumper for my f250 ... He said if he put it head to it he might be able to come up with something that looks a little freindlier on the eyes.... All the ones hes built... Just look mean... Just like a pipe bumper with brush gaurds... I want like a pre runner type... Or like a full blown fabbed up jobby..lol

I would highly recommend a Frontier bumper. It has better protection than the Road Armor and I guarantee you is cheaper too. A friend of mine is on the umpteenth deer, and probably the 8th hog with his, no body damage and no damage to the bumper. Take in mind we always go in and reinforce the bumper mounts. Reminds me of a time a lady wouldn't turn off her highs. Completely blinded me and all of the sudden I just hear a thud. Got a quick glance of a doe falling to the ground out my drivers side window, stuck its head across the yellow and got introduced to my bumper. By the time I realized what had just happened I looked in my mirror and saw brake lights and a car swerving before going around a corner. Found out the next day that the lady still hit the deer which broke her control arm, sent her into the ditch and rolled the vehicle. She walked away and tried to pin the cause on me, but the police and the wrecker services all looked at the marks in the road (I do know the local officers, most of the fire department as I went to school with most of their kids, and the wrecker drivers) said she would've seen it (as would I) if she had turned her brights off in the first place. I at least made an effort to follow up on the incident at school the day after.
