Looks much better...I think that removing the tow hooks and painting that last center piece of the lower bumper would finish it off perfectly...along with a billet bowtie

Wow, that's an incredible difference!

I'm going to disagree with the others and say leave the tow hooks and the lower valance the way they are. Though I will agree that a billet bowtie would look very nice . . .

I agree about the lower bumper. Being that the truck is new I don't want to have that painted since we have to have a full warrenty on everything. The tow hooks were added since there are holes in the lower panel for them and without them it just looks like there are empty holes. I wouldn't have put them on there for any reason other than to fill the hole.
