Correct. You would never know from the look or feel. I'm also going to add the clear made by duplicolor.

I'm definitely doing my bumpers, just waiting for the time i suppose. You should definitly do the headlights. gives a nice look. I did mine white to match the truck and I like it. Don't only consider black, there is a rainbow of possibilities

Just went through your build. Sharp looking rig and the bumpers would definitely set it off! Love the matched headlights just not certain how it would flow on my rig.

I'm definitely considering doing the match. And possibly the bug deflector also. Did you put your headlights in the oven? I'm having a hard time convincing the wife to let me use it.

Ya I did it exactly like the write up on here ( not sure where it is now). There was absolutely no smell afterwards. The hardest parts is getting the opening started after removing them. Once you have it started it just pulls apart. I also used my heat gun to help keep the seam warm.
