umm... no, do not put the bumper back on. it looks weird now cuz u have the pipes coming out the rollpan where the plate is suppose to be

 

Honestly, I have never liked tags in the tailgate. But that center exhaust setup is totally bitchin. I'd find another place for the tag, but thats just me. And get some taillights like SmokinRice.

Just an honest opinion.

 

Hey J just get some 03 tails and tint that and the 3rd brake light and polish those tips to match ur rims and leave it alone. oh yea mold ur roll pan in together.

 

***Update***

Well, I'm going against the popular opinion and decided to go back to the rear bumper. There are just too many reasons to not stick with the current setup from a cost and labor standpoint. Basically, that rear needs some major work. You can't tell in the pics but up close it looks like **** and basically ruins the whole truck for me. I'm embarrased to drive it sometimes because the rear looks so crappy. So anyway, I'm going back to the stock configuration but with all of the black plastic pieces painted to match. I've already prepped the plastic parts on the rear bumper for paint and yesterday I picked up a new tailgate which I started to prep last night. Here's a pic of the new gate. Nothing special, just a tailgate. I bought it from a nearby salvage yard for $175 and aside from the minor paint scratches there is one "ding" on the backside which can be fixed. More than likely the tailgate cap holes will be filled and smoothed.

 

I am with scream I like the idea of having a clean looking tailgate.

 

I stopped and looked at one of these trucks the other day. I asked the salesman if i could order one of these pans. He said i'm sure you can but i don't know how to go about that.

Anyone have a # for Regency and know where they are located? Is it possible to just get the pan from them?
