    may seem like a dumb question(s), but in Cali what do you guys do about front License Plates? And the LED light bar, would that be an issue not being covered?
    It is one of the cleaniest bumpers I have seen yet.

    Curious about the LED being covered as well.
    As for the plate, I didn't put it on, it's a chance im willing to take. I have gotten stared down by cops in the past, luckily none have hassled me about it but it's required to have it on

    Understand about the requirement, just curious, I don't have the front plate on my vette and never had it questioned.
    The light(s) I have been pulled over in the past in other trucks for not being covered, but those were traditional K/C lights on a rail/hoop.

    ^ Thats the reason why I had the LED lights recessed back into the skid plate. That way its more stealth and not showcased. Less chance of hassle and also harder to steal.

    ​


    I'm making a nice looking bracket to mount my front plate. I haven't gotten hassled for it but its going to be a matter of time. I've received a parking ticket for not having it. So I'm going to install it on. ​

    Led head/dtr lights.
    Considered lighting up the interior of bumper with switch to light up that KR fab cutout? That way you can represent at night time too.
    And kudos to the guys at KR for putting it together...very impressed. I might call you guys once I dent/smash my stock bumper.

    It seriously would have been easy to light up (could have made the light yellow) and I could have wired them up as a separate front turn signals ;)

    Well...sorry for being a genius. I figured you may have had something in mind...figured you have a cutout for something. Great minds think alike. ill let you know tomorrow what else you're gonna do with big red.
    Red would look nice.

    That would be cool...with an on/off switch you won't get crap from cops or anyone

    ^Thanks Ryan! ​


    Big Props to KENNY at KR FAB!

    Its been such a blast working with Kenny in regards to this bumper. The execution is simply AMAZING! The guy knows how to make visions become reality. . .

    I look forward in our future projects. :D

    Everything is about 90% Done on the bumper now. I've got to make the chrome housing on the DTRL LEDS black.

    I've got to spend tomorrow wiring all the lights on them.
