No linex under the flares, and it looks unbelievably dumb without the flares to carry the black over the wheel wells.

The bug guard coming off is a definite possibility, I'll pull it this weekend and see how I like it. I just had it off a couple weeks ago before I lowered it, and it didn't look right, but it might now (I hope it does, I hate bug guards ).

And I've photoshopped the grille green before, and it doesn't look right at all. Not sure why, but it just doesn't.

I meant if you take the fender flares off, would there be line-x just on the bottom half. I wasn't talking about carrying the black over the wheel wells. If so, you could pull the fender flares and see how you like it.

Oh oh oh. Yeah, there's linex under them on the bottom half. I may do that eventually, but right now I'm happy enough with it as is, and don't feel like ******* with all that double sided tape (and it really didn't look good at all with the linex and no flares).

On a completely unrelated note, here's the one shot I grabbed of your truck at Carlisle.

Nope, just adjusted the toe so I wasn't all splayed out. These tires don't matter at ALL, so I'm not going to bother getting it aligned. It goes straight, and turns with the steering wheel, that's all that matters.

And thanks for the positive comments guys, I'm surprised at how well this is being received, it really is a ridiculous setup. There is something I like about it though.

I was going to suggest removing the bugshield for sure, looks like you're already thinking that way though.

get some powdercoated SS 20s and you could be Kermit the 2nd. lol I don't mind the stance, I just am not a fan of the wheels. I liked it better lifted, but it's not bad now. I can live with it. haha
