Default Painted bumper ding solution

Hey just did a little work to my truck today to get rid of a nasty mark on the front bumper. A stone chip started it and the power washer peeled it back like it was a sticker. I have a buddy that the same thing happened only in a different spot. Guess this is pretty common, Dodge does not cover pealed paint from point of impact, especially on plastic bumpers. I tried to get them to warranty it but no go, you can clearly see that the primer is not sticking to the plastic. So I wet sanded it smooth and put hand cut vinyl decals on. Tell me what you think? Would you paint the eyelids the same color as the truck or leave them black or remove them altogether..

Putting Hella's (500ff) in tomorrow.

Hood spears are already on, just can not see them well.. Bad lighting, we have had nothing but haze and rain for the last 6 days. More to come, yuck!! But it is better than snow, and hey gives me a reason to work on the Dodge.. I will take more pictures and post them when it is sunny out. Anybody tell me how to post more pictures would be cool. I am a newbie to the forum and just learning the ropes.. I'd also like to add all my mods to the bottom of my posts but don't know how... So any help for the newbie would be greatly appreciated. I am also wondering about hi/lo hids for the hemi beast... I already have single beam in the fogs but want them in my head lights as well.

hey fellow wisconsinite, welcome. that actually looks pretty good, and covered up the ding nicely.
to post pics start a photobucket account (its free) then upload your pics onto photobucket and copy the img code and just paste it into the box you type in on here.
to add your mods and such, go to "user cp" at the top toolbar of this page and click "edit signature" on the list on the left side, then just type in your mods and put in a pic using the same procedure as posting pics in a post... make sure you save your signature b4 you leave

where in wisconsin are you from? feel free to join my wisconsin group (click link in my sig)
