I have the SuperSnake bumper that just slipped over the metal one. I think one in your color would look great:

WoWeeeee Man.....

Looks fantastic!! If you don't mind me asking, how did you handle the alignment? I'm racking my brain trying to figure out the best approach to handle my alignment....excess negative camber causing inside wear after dropping my FX4.

Thanks and you've inspired me to do some more upgrades!

elongated the lower A-arm bolt slots towards the inside of the truck by about 1/2 to 3/4".
And have it aligned.
might have to cut a bit the tie-rod.

which lowering kit do you have?
DJM lower A-arm: need the tie-rod cut but not touching the a-arm slots.
Belltech: lowering strut: need the slots and the tie-rod(if needed).

I really like the hood. I should have gone that route last summer instead of an OEM replacement when it got hail damaged.

I know .... not asking me ...... but I lowered my FX4 to maybe 1/2" lower than 2wd height (2" or a hair more lower than stock) in front when all was done and I have my LCAs pulled almost all the way in on one side (maybe 1/8" slack) and all the way in on the other .... I thought I was gonna need to increase slot length. No cutting tie rod ends either, but much lower I woulda'.
