    I lucked out. Mine was white. I got my paint from home depot. Yours looks little big to do all white. Maybe White black combo/ or All black look good.

    I took that off. All the lower supports I took off. and trimmed back the middle. The top is supported enough. I wouldent recommend if your BAJA the fuck out of it. But daily driving and light off roads. Youll be alright.

    Also when your done and you want to hide that nasty gap that should be no less this 1/2 between bumper and body for flex. You can order this. You can check my build page to see how it looks and what it covers up. They make different sizes so just do some measurements and then order what you need. Super soft so its awesome and provides support when you take off the lower bracket.
