Much Better ..

After weeks of trying to convince myself that my Line-x'd bumpers did match but I was just seeing a color variation to the truck as a result of lighting differences, I decided to have the bumpers re-shot. We used the same can of E4 that we used on the nerfs, and put on a new top coat. NOW I think it matches the way it should. Looks wet and does not look dark:

Before:




After:

What do you think of PTM-ing your grill surround and getting rid of that H-bar ?

and also how do you keep the trim on the mirror so black , it looks great, mines always faded after i put a dressing on

I like the bumpers. I believe that H grill has to go though. Or, paint those headlights.

Looks really nice. Maybe paint the grille to match.

The first two photos almost look like different color trucks because of the lighting, but the bumpers definitely match better in the after pictures.

What style fender flares do you have on your truck and how do you like the coverage?

Thanks,
