no ken no denting or warping yet thats why i cut up the honeycomb frame something to attach it to i used the best zipties i could find and when i painted it i removed all the honeycomb and hollywood its just gutter gaurd material nothing special but it seperating me from all you other black trucks until i decide to go against the grain ..... on the other hand i was talking it over with the fiance last night and i decided after our wedding in may im gonna start putting money aside for the bag job and go have these guys downtown i know c-notch and bag it no crazy z notch or body drop....just wanna lay down.....so def in the future will have it bagged out.....so very lil mods will be done here out if i wanna do this i mean i got a list of stuff that needs to be done and a list of stuff that i want done so ill be picking and choosing as i go but def wanting to bag is right up there....... i can see it now and im not in wonderland either.....just have to do some research.....and remember this is just a plan of attack.....

learn how to weld! everything else is cake-walk trust me! you can peice a kit together for between 800-1200 depending on how good you are. if you can weld you can install it yourself. i was THIS close to bagging mine about a year ago... i mean i had the tank, compressor, valves, and soleniods all installed. holes drilled wires and lines ran. all i had to do was install the bags, which my ex-gf's bro-inlaw was gonna weld up for me. THAT DAY! i broke up with my ex, returned the kit to the dude i bought it from and spent that money moving out of the house i was living in with my ex at the time. i regret it, but not as much as i dont ya know. she was frickin looney guys!
