    IMO I think the relentless rear looks just a bit better than the elite rear, but if I were to get a front I would definitely gigot the elite plate bumper...although I heard a rumor someones coming out with a tube bumper...that might actually be realistic

    Put them side by side and you'd see that statement is far from accurate. I'll post better pics showing the bumper tomorrow and how its basically a design copy of my 2nd gen rear bumper, but matched to the proportions of the 1st gen Tacoma.
    More than small differences, and it would be especially apparent if pictured side by side to the Elite.
    Thats true about designs, there are only so many 'fresh' designs that can come out but my designs arent copied from other makers and are about as fresh as I can see practical with appealing to a wide audience.
    Thanks. I'll have pictures of a new front plate bumper for 1st gens within a week as well so you might just end up changing your mind. :cool:

    :cookiemonster:

    How many UPS employees ended up getting hugs/kicked it the nuts/in bodybags?

    Got your Plasti-dip at the ready? Actually, I think you should murder-out the whole truck. That would be sick, yo.
