Not exactly sure what you've got in mind but if it's what I think your thinking I've seen something like that before, looked good too. Can you make a sketch, drawing or photochop of it? I'm planning on painting my Van pretty soon so after that I might add decals and stuff.

I really shouldn't do half the things I do. But I couldn't wait! I did mark up the van in the process but it will all buff out...I hope!!

Yup, their pricing is reasonable but damn does he take a long time! I ordered about 3 months ago but it was well worth the wait. He's up in Montana and I think it's a one man show, guy works on Montana time!

All his stuff is made to order/custom so you can have them made to how you want them/to your needs.

I also swapped in some HID's. My stock headlamps were on their way out and more or less could not light up much of anything, if I got on roads without street lamps it really became an issue.
So...

I feel alot more comfortable and relaxed driving with these lights now, very happy with them. And I'm still gonna add some Fog lamps as well as a light bar up top. This thing is gonna put out some light when I'm done!!

I got a rush of excitement about 90 minutes ago just as the sun was going down and ran out to Home Depot and rented a angle grinder and tore the bumper off:

Ground down the portion of the crossmember that sticks out from the frame rails:

And threw the TDK bumper on, got a couple bolts on and...ran out of light! LOL

She's on there with most of the bolts in, none of them tight nor is the bumper aligned. It was too dark to tell what I needed to do or how to proceed so I will pick this up in the morning at first light. I need to run down and get 4 washers at Home Depot as well but other than that it shouldn't be too much longer.

Why I decided to do this at 7:30 at night I have no idea!

I think a life size tire print would look better. Dirt bike or street bike down the size following the line of the door slide.

Looks pretty good actually!! I saw a Ford Van with something similar on another forum, it really did look good. After I paint it I'll have to think of some graphics because I do think it would look a hell of alot better with some graphics on it of some kind.

A buddy of mine was telling me I should put on some 3'x4' graphics of this guy....


or

Might be a good option!
