Well I finally got the Mesh in and got it all finished! I ordered the real thick Mesh tho (1.8mm) so I had a hard time cutting it to fit, but I finally got er all put together and put on!!

Ill put a better pic of it on tomorrow in the daylight but that's it right now, it looks really good I think it needs a emblem or something tho, a little to much black right now I think, Id like to get my hands on one of those actual RBP star emblems to put on it, but ill probably have to get somethin else idk yet. tomorrow I got to bend the top of the frame out a lil bit to prevent it from hitting my hood, it barely clears the hood its really close to it, but Ill get it fixed up tomorrow. It turned out really good I think though, it looks like something RBP would make for my model year! so itll go good with the theme of my truck!

Thank ya! appreciate it! had to do a little tweaking and when I was doin that I broke one of the welds on accident....so I had to re weld it and paint it again! but here she as of today, doesn't look to bad, turned out better than I thought it would, I woulda been stupid to pay that high priced money for one of those, yeah probably a lot cleaner made and stuff but this looks awesome for under $100
