Finally Fixed My Bumper!
no, i mean in addition to the factory fogs. those cutouts look so useless, thought maybe shoving some lighhts into them would look cool. I'm talking about the cutouts just below and to the right and left of the license plate area.

great job man! looks brand new, im assuming you used a paint gun? not just from a rattle can? ............I have been wanting to paint my grill and headlight trim black but dont feel comfortable using a spray paint to do so. I went to an airbrush/paint place in town and had them priced their to paint and they wanted $350 to have them painted (thats with me just giving them the parts, not having them take it off the truck) and they said it would take a week to do. I was like whatttt!????

Thanks guys, I use a high volume low pressure paint sprayer. I redone the back bumper becasue I bought Onyx flat clearcoat for Trucky's ride (He wanted flat black). When I painted my rear bumper I accidentally sprayed it with his flat clearcoat. So I went ahead and wet sanded it and added another coat and high gloss clearcoat since I had extra left over.
I was so happy to bolt it all back together today, lol.

Like I said on Facebook man the truck is looking killer! I wish I had the equipment and skill to do my own paint work. Landlord might have something to say if I started setting up a compressor and sprayer in the parking lot though.

Thanks Rich, I'm very proud of it. I've mastered engine work, vehicle electrical systems, auto paint and transmission/gears. I think when I retire I'm going to open a performance shop dedicated to not raping customers.
