    Nice, thanks I've been looking at roof racks but can't decide which one and if they are worth it.

    you might want to spray paint it black or with clear coat. after awhile the sun burns the plastic and it turns light grey and ugly

    Finally color matched the bumper the right way. Some of you may remember I had previously dipped it. Very happy with the turnout. Had some vinyl left over and decided to do the door handles too, only thing left is the mirrors :)

    The secret to keeping it black is living in Seattle, where we only see the sun 3 months out of the year haha. I've heard that from some other reviews and will eventually coat it with some black when it gets there, thanks!

    Did one half of a U-Bolt flip and super bumps and then the wife texted me asking if I could pickup the kids so I don't have time to finish the otherside.

    Decided to do the eag grill. But question is emblem or no emblem? The only way to mount it I can figure is to glue it....or possibly glue bolts to the back to try and mount but the problem is it moving.... any ideas?61C5B96D-5236-48D9-A70B-79C66C6B9E4D.jpg5FCE24B2-EE94-4CFE-B5E2-66AF856DE8AF.jpg



    But I am painting it to color match.

    How thick is the emblem? Possible to drill a hole not all the way through and tap it? Use wide washers on the backside

    I have mine wired pretty similar from what I remember but mine doesn’t trigger when in reverse? I tied the reverse power to the reverse trigger...am I doing something wrong? Also did you guys wire in the dimmer for the xavax100?
