Back from body shop!!

Got the truck back from the body shop today. Christmas morning fender bender (Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus! :santa took out the grille surround, facia, bumper and minor damage to the left front.

Shop installed new bumper, new Chrome Edition grille, facia and we extended stripes thru the bumper. Also used my old Roush grille to build a bumper insert grille. Like a new truck! Whadda y'all think??

(We also added 8500K HID bulbs in the heads and fogs, a new LED 3rd brake light and a new patriot decals overlay to the tailgate oval. A matching one silver/chrome is o order for the grille.)

Looks good but it needs something on the front end? maybe a roush front spoiler. ebay still has them for cheap, i got mine for $200 painted and shipped.

For it to look ultra good, you should look into a PTM surround and ditch the bug shield thing. I like the stripes!

the stripes look better with a monochromatic truck, I think it would look better if you take off the the bugshield. The bodyshop did a good job though.
