    Guys! Can some one post a pic of what the "behind the license plate receiver" looks like?? Or tell me if with that option does the receiver stick out from the bumper, requiring a bracket to mount the license plate to, or does the reciever set flush with the bumper??? Can't find a pic anywhere! I've seen lots of pics of the under the bumper receiver option, but not the behind the plate option. I've already ordered it and have PM'd relentless to ask but they won't respond!!!

    Hey thanks delta!!!! Perfect, that's what I was hoping it was like! I assumed it was designed like that but on the relentless site I saw a pic of the same bumper as yours with the wrap arounds and the lisence plate was on a bracket that stuck out like 5", and I got worried the receiver stuck out that amount. I was not okay with that if it were the case.

    Another question fur ya, how far do the wrap-a-rounds set out beyond the flares?? I really like that design but I opted for the standard bumper instead. I worried the wrap arounds were gunna be too "fat" and look kinda goofy sticking out. From the pics I've seen it does look like they are a little fat but I haven't seen a pic of one installed looking down on the wrap arounds from standing directly above it. If they don't stick out way beyond the flares I'd pry change my order to get the wrap around style instead!

    The one that you saw with the 5" sticking out probably has a winch behind it.

    It is a bit bulky, and its a bit to bulky for my liking. Eventually i would like to sell this one and make my own in the very distant future.

    This one, it has the fairlead on the other side which made it stick out more.

    Ahh yup I'm sure you're right! The lisence plate was mounted to the fairlead, giving me the impression the receiver was protruding out... It was the pic on their site where you would order the bumper, of that red truck with the wrap around style and the square LED's, just like yours, minus the winch.

    Looking at the last pic you posted I feel like the wrap arounds should have stayed a little slimmer, instead they actually start flaring out from the face of the bumper. I get that they are there for protection but I don't think they needed to be so chunky. I think It would really look bulky on tacos without flares!
