    Did you paint the 'inside' of your truck black? It doesn't look as 'naked' as the other trucks with hybrid bumpers.

    Yea, the area behind the bumper. I like the look of the hybrids, but don't like the exposed interior area that shows through, so painting it is a nice touch.

    I feel the same way, i dont usually like seeing all the clutter behind the bumper. You did a great job of hiding all that. I really like the way it looks.

    Yeah take our your grill, headlights, and little pieces under it. Take off the bumper (pre bumper install works best) mask off the fenders and clean everything up then go to town with your normal painting techniques. I used flat black since it closer to the frame vs gloss. I did about 4 coats in there. One can was enough. I used the rustoleum high performance industrial flat black. It dries to the touch in 10 minutes. then ready to handle in about an hour. But I didn't wait the full hour I was just really careful putting the headlights back in and grill. I will tell you this The headlights go in so much easier
