Looking good. People with black trucks luck out with this mod (unless the hitch rusts). I think if you fabricated something like the attached picture and filled the contour of the bumber you would have cleaner lines. The cover would attach to the hitch so you can lock it down. The picture shows an opacity to enhance clarity but the fiberglass should be color coded to the vehicle.

I fixed my receiver hitch. Replaced it with a Putnam Class IV. Putnam has a patented finiah that looks awesome. Nice shiny black.

Truck looks very tight. Silver is a good color for a Navi. I WANT YOUR BOFAS!

I saw a silver Navi yesterday in Vegas and the fellow had removed the portion of the tail lights that were on the lift gate. Man, what a difference it made. I had to stare a minute to figure out what was different. There was much other custom work as well . . wheels, lowered, paint etc. etc.

that may have been an expy you saw.

i saw some pics a while back of an Expy the guy turned into a navigator.
the only thing he left off was the lights on the lift gate.
