Plus we de chromed the grill shell & prepping for the new grill insert.
The new grill insert had 31 hokie chrome plastic bolts they were removed the holes welded, ground clean then a little filler, prime & paint & now I have a clean looking insert.
I also have to move the radius over 3/4 of an inch to the right to match the grill.
After lots of hrs of fiberglass rework & glass filler sanding we finally have it where I want the parts.
It's fiberglass its slice & dice time & I don't like fiberglass work a 2 3/4 inch spacer was made, much better fit now.

These after market front covers are real thin so I added 2 more layers over lapped in the center for more strength to the bottom lip. Once installed I will need to hook my Banks cold air scoop to it.

My friends at Westover Auto body in Maple Valley four corners area 425 432 7222 fixed the rear bed damage & painted the red for me on the new reworked front bumper & grill shell. I really like the new look I also had them paint the rear bumper to match. I definitely like the new lowered look.
The light openings will be swapped left to right & right to left plus flipped 180 & reworked to match the driving lights. Its got to look wright.
The new steel grill had these cheese chrome plastic bolts they are removed then the holes will be welded then ground clean and repainted black.
