    Hey gorgeous truck! I'm sorry for asking but my question is on the front end conversion. I have an 09. I have a demello bumper. I see you have an after market bumper. My question is if I were to change headlights, grill, and hood, would the bumper still fit? Is there a gap cause I see you have something in between in red on yours. Is that custom or part off the bumper. What other advice? Again im sorry if you have stated this before in the thread

    ^Thanks for the Kind Compliment. . .

    You'll have a gap for sure and you'd want to get a new 2012 designed front bumper to compliment the change.

    I built my bumper based on the design around the 2012 front bumper portion. You may be able to get a 2012 front bumper and cut the top portion to fill in the gap. That can allow you to perhaps keep the Demello bumper.

    I hope that helps but never hurts to upgrade the 2012 Front End and Buy a new 2012 Bumper.. Save cash on buying a new 2012+ Bumper. ​

    I got rid of the Katzkins and I have Pecca. I love it and its Black & Graphite with red stitching. Its held up well and shows the normal signs of use.
