Talking New look, 56K beware...

Well got a new look for the truck.
Started the day around 11 and the winds were a PITA today also This is how the day started.



Then with a little sanding and paint.


Then the fun work, I hope that I never have to go threw this again

And when all back together. And that is how it ended.





Just a recap. Before.

And after.


Let me know what you all think about it? I still have to cut it some more to get the tow hooks back in, will do that later on.

Looks better, but if you ever feel like doing it again just cut that **** off the front of the frame and you won't have to trim the airdam any. It also allows you to flip the tow hooks with just minimal trimming.
