    This is a bumper that I finished a few days ago for a customer, just seeing what you guys think. He wanted my old style cutout with mesh covers over the holes.

    Holly SHIT Dude. Billy you are a Master Craftsman that looks awesome. No better than awesome. I don’t know the right word to describe it.

    WOW!

    I’m blown away.

    Thank you.

    I can’t wait to put it on my truck. Few more weeks and I will be home to do it too.

    Going to be the longest weeks ever coming up.

    If have to see it on the truck, maybe if the mesh was black if dig it. Good craftsmanship nonetheless.

    I'm not sure what color he's gonna do the mesh..I would assume black

    lol

    I agree black out everything would look bad ass..but it's up to him. yes there are drilled and tapped holes around the cutouts.

    You could do an accent color in there though and it would look sick! Super white in the mesh to tie it all together

    Bumper and mesh will be blacked out. Red accent around mesh to match my grill and badging.

    You sir are an Artist/Master Craftsman! Damn fine looking work. And I agree the black mesh would look badass.

    Hmmmm.......:D

    Same here..lol

    Hey Will, the winch would still work you'd have to leave it engaged all the time which isn't that big of a deal...plus we have yotas man..the only reason we have a winch is for pullin our jeep buddies out...LMAO:D

    I have the trim rings for the cutouts like your bumper as my next bumper will have something similar:)

    Nice;)

    Thanks man

    Thank you for the kind words.:)
