Much easier to see if you link them into the site like I did to yours.

Thanks boss!
 We're going to put fog lamps in the bumper too. Also need to put grill moldings on but I am going to use chrome with 1/8 " black stick on molding.

I believe I'll just put the diamond plate that i had made between the filler/bed and the bumpers, I dont think the bumpers should be any higher than necessary. Thanks for the input though!

I was wondering when that was going to come up. Primed hoods are kinda my thing. The Primer has flat clear with orange pearl over it and I am going to put SS stripes in the body color over the primer. I guess it's kinda weird but we'll see what it looks like.
 If it looks bad then I can always paint the whole thing.
 I have an 02 Formula that I put a fiberglass ram air hood on and when I painted it it looked crappy(pin holes in the gel coat,waves, rings, etc) so I sanded it down in a hurry and primed it all black except the low spot in the middle. Turns out I liked it so I left it that way. My boy said he wanted the hood of his truck done the same way. We'll see how it turns out.
