Default New Pictures - Had stuff painted

Well I got some stuff painted on my truck finally. Got rid of that ugly work truck front end. I had the grille, bumper cap, and got a new airdam painted, as well as a rollpan. Rollpan is a Custom Classics fabricated pan. I also got some Street Scene mirrors, but when the painter was washing the truck he noticed some thin spots on the mirrors, so he's going to repaint them. He did an excellent job on everything though, and I'm sure the mirrors will come out great. Let me know what you guys think. By the way, I have fog lamps, but I haven't had the chance to put them in yet.














Also, what do you guys think I should do? Should I put my Speed Grille back on or keep it off?

With it on (I just placed it there, it's not secured):



And without:

go with the speed grille, or get a billet bar one.

nice mods, makes a nice subtle difference

is your front bumper tweaked a little?

Nope. Does it look it? Might just be the pictures. But no, it's never been hit or anything up front, and looks fine in person.

Truck looks excellent. You have good styling taste. I really can't suggest anything because you've done it all, lol. I'd even keep those stock wheels. Yes, I would keep the speed grille too. Where did you get that airdam from? I really like it.

Looks great! I am trying to decide if I want to do this or go with the SS bumper. And keep the speed grille.

Clean as always man. I really like the new mods and the new stance on it with those wheels/tires. Good choices.

Looks great, and I prefer it without the speed grille, although I might be a little biased.

I like the pan too. I'm going to get a CC pan, how was the fit and did it require any body work to get it good enough for paint?
