btw, I got a black rear bumper now... since the M&G
Yeah we lost our awesome smilies like the "this thread is worthless without pics" one in the changeover, stuck with the boring ones now The new software runs a lot better though.

The grille is just plastic with "chrome" over it (like Eric I'm not sure what they actually used).

It's been a good while since you've been around, were you still here when I rolled mine? It's changed a lot since then, I'm still working down the "eliminate all chrome" road, just have the grill and headlights left to take care of (and that little chrome ring at the base of the antenna ).

Well I'm sure it was around the time I got rear ended or hit in the parking lot last year...

Yeah thankfully the worst was when I was rear ended at the 2nd annual M&G by Zeropilot, bent my frame... but it was all taken care of.... but I have had some crappy luck with my truck and accidents as well... 3 now that haven't been remotely my fault, but again thankfully none too bad :-D

Nah you didn't start the trend mine was definitely before that during the winter. I've got a few pictures of it in my ride thread if you click the DF Rides button under my sig.
