    I want to change the front end look on my radiant red taco. Can't decide what will look the best. Any suggestions? This is my current setup:

    If you plan to keep the chrome steps and wheels I'd go color matched.
    If you check my build thread, I have a radiant red as well but went the other way (black wheels, BHLM, black grill...)

    I ended up just doing a plasti dip black coat on mine until I start actually working on my rig. Planned on it being a temporary thing but its holding up well enough and looks fine that I'm leaving it for the foreseeable future. Lot better then chrome IMO. I did leave the emblem chrome

    DERP IT, GOOD.

    Otherwise, get a steep bumper. Changes the whole look of the front end!

    This took more than a few hours of work since I made ( grill courtesy of Homer Taco) and painted the Satoshi grill myself, but I think the transformation came out quite well. Debadged and also added Dozer alum. lettering welded in. Before and after pics. IMG_2986.jpgIMG_3207.jpg
