Default Guys with body kits come in

due to the denali front clip im thinkin im gonna have to run a body kit, i didnt want to but it kinda looks liek i have no alternative

here are some pics of ones that ive gathered... these trucks are some of my favs just didnt think id ever dump the money into a body kit

the first truck on here is almost identical to what im lookin for obviously cause it has the denali clip. notice in the first pic he doesnt have the body kit on... kinda looks very uneven, second pic wit body kit looks alot better. does anybody know whos truck that is btw?? EDIT: nevermind its "Edawg" incase anyone was wondering

open to comments and suggestions

thanks everyone

Ever thought about just sectioning the bumper cover? It'd be more work but look better IMO vs. a body kit. EDawg's looks the best to me out of those though.

ya thats what i was gonna do... i just dont know where i would section it up. i dont really wanna run a body kit cause of the cost... its gonna be like $450 atleast probably. i just wish i could find a REALLY good body man who i know would take care of it.

im thinkin if i was to have it sectioned it would probably be the top lip that would just get cut off and put back on.

Why don't you just go to a 03 clip?

Theres all the options...it won't be cheap to get the skirts either.

Plus paint for the body kit...it's possible you'll be coming out close to even with getting the clip sectioned.

body kit on truck =




i still think a completely colormatched 99-02 front end would look better....

either way, body kit or sectioned bumper will look good

I don't know how well you can section that plastic bumper cover. It is not like metal that you can cut and weld back together. In order to do it proprerly you have to find someone who can weld/melt plastic, which is really rare, not to mention it will be alot weaker once it is complete.... I have looked into repairing some abs plastic pieces and it is not cheap and the tools are not cheap....

here is a how to
