Default Hood is finally finished!

so, i had a break from school and i was able to save up enough money to buy the painting supplies and i paint the hood on my truck myself. the color was a spot on match now the final result was not as good as it could have been if i had an actual painter do it, but i think it looks pretty good.

I think it looks really good but what is up with that bumper gap that would drive me crazy.

yea i dont like it, but when i put these new wheels on because of the huge offset they have they would hit on the front bumper and i couldnt bring myself to cut the front bumper so i just made some "extenders" to push the bumper out a little bit. so now they dont hit the front bumper. haha you are the first person that has even noticed.

Its just one of the things I do. Its like I hate on my truck that you have to slam the tailgate so the body lines are normal if someone closes my tailgate and doesn't slam it the body lines are off a little and I cant stand it so I have to go fix it.
