That is a super slick custom setup, congrats ! Also to chime in I can't believe your rig fits in that POD / garage. How the hell do you get the door open and inside

That bumper is insane buddy. idk if I could go that extreme, it is like there is nothing up front! I am glad you have the balls to go for it because it looks great. I just dont see me being that bold. Ill just paint the bumpers lol.

I hope that the Ford Grill letters light up bright ass blue. Lol. He's up to something. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

Few new updates.

Got the grille back from paint last night. I had the painter spray out a few samples to try and match the texture and sheen of the hood graphic as close as possible. So what we ended up with is somewhere between and matte and satin black. I had other reasons for painting the grille but certainly once I put the black bumper up front there was no reason to retain any grey.

I had clear paint protection film applied to the upper skid plate on my RPG Pre Runner bumper. I also decided while I had it off that I would replace the chrome bolts with black bolts. I would have preferred if RPG had used tapered holes with machine screws but since the bolts are so prominent I figured I would make the best of it and continue the black/white theme.

Lastly, I had the front windows tinted to match the factory rear window tint. It was somewhere around 28% on top of the 95% tint from the factory.
