I agree no brush guard does make it more clean. Sometimes less is more

Looks good. Replace the corner bulbs with some coated bulbs. Will clean up the appearance.

Looks good so far. The undercoat was one of the first things that I did. Makes a big difference. I'm also planning to do the rockers and bumpers, but haven't decided if I'm going to have it done or DIY. If you are going to leave the brush guard off, what would you want for it?
