    If you zip tie some black mesh in the open space where your fogs are it would look good and give you some lower radiator protection. I'd put it in front of the fogs to protect them as well. Just a suggestion.

    You can also pound out your dent with a hammer on upper bumper.

    Here's what I did to protect windshield wiper resevoir:

    just the shocks, you cand beat Down South Motorsports.. & youll want 5125's for the rear, not 5100's. same shock but the 5125's are available in extended lengths, best thing to do is get the rear lift done then measure your extended and collapsed lengths then order shocks, wont hurt to ride around town for a week or so waiting on them

    wow, looks good man, never realized you could take the bottom bumper off like that. I have holes rusted in that chrome piece in the bumper, and I hit a tree and broke my signal light. think ill go out and do the signal light relocate now and look at taking off my bumper and getting some mesh

    Not hating, I was just wondering. I'm kind of new to actually interacting with other members. Been lurking for a while, but finally started looking at build threads and whatnot. I usually saw "bumps" for ForSale posts in the Buy/Sell/Trade place. Sorry. You should definitely check out my Projector Retrofit build if you're looking for something to do.
    Cheers man!

    And I just read your little bio when you hover your mouse over the blue tag beneath your stats on the left side. I'm here if you have any questions regarding a retrofit. I got mine for $205, probably would've been less if I had know that there was more than enough sealant for reassembly. Better safe than sorry! But seriously, check it out. I've only seen one other good one and that is the one who inspired me to do mine.

    Looks really good! Dig the stance and front end, the roof rack is sick too! Nice choice on wheels ;) the only thing I would suggest is doing a satoshi grille and getting rid of the billet one. Other than that it's clean!
