Doesn't look so bad. Sure can see through it a lot though.

that's what i don't like about it. it don't think it goes with the truck very well. not substantial enough. oh well, it wasn't terribly expensive since i got it with the roush closeout.

No, the reason you can see through it is the flash lighting everything up back there. Pic 1 (no flash) looks VERY nice! You do need to clean that brake dust off the fronts though!

it's not the flash, it's just as noticeable looking at it in the daytime. thinking about the CW monster bar.
