    Thanks! The headlights were retrofitted and the fogs are from BajaDesigns. They are by far the best fogs I’ve had.

    I want to do this as well but I can't bring myself to like the LED grid. Still running OE tails for now.

    I like how they did the ecoery points and where they put the light cut outs. Looks like you have a really fun project ahead of you assuming you are assembling yourself. Everybody seems to want to either spray paint their bumpers or use the cheap DIY bedliner kits. I recoated mine with Hippoliner and sprayed it with a Schutz gun pretty durable stuff we use at work alot. You can get it in black and tintable. The black doesn't hold up to the sun as well as the tintable so even for black e use the tintable. This is a pic of mine I mixed the tintable with some 040 white paint for a great match

    Not sure. It may be a DV8 but it came with a bunch of lights too.


    Not sure. The PO was an old guy who put them in. I think they are from a 4R or something.

    sprayed ths over an exstng bedlner. The Hppoliner has etching qualities but I would clean the surface really well and spray it with at least etching primer first.

    Note: if you use the Hippoliner and a schutz gun spray at 40-50lbs of preasure. You can control the texture by how far from the surface you hold the gun. Don't even try to do it in a heavy coat. 2-3 medium coats works well. If you are in a cooler humid environment it can take about 5 days for it to cure and you can install it. I did mine last fall when it was cool and damp and it took a week. in a heated shop environment just 2 days

    Yikes. I'm guessing the lug removal key is aluminum?

    I know this is easier said than done, but since you've found a nest in your filter you may want to start checking all the wiring under your hood as rodents have been known to chew on the wire shrouds which contain soy products.
