I like it! It definitely stands out from everything else out there. Did you use Plasti-dip for your rear bumper and grille?

The rear bumper looks great colormatched, why not do the front the same.

 

 

I am thinking that's what I am going to do now. Only thing was the headlights tinted with the fogs made it look like it was smiling and wanted to tie all the black together but like everyone mentioned looks to plain for me I think. Prob going to end up color matching and going back to stock headlight look. Either way just couldn't deal with the chrome anymore.

Yes it is plasti dipped for now, just wanted to play around with the colors to get the look I liked and go more permanent when I make my mind up.

do stock cleared headlights...

 

 

I see people talking about stock cleared headlights ........ What exactly is that do they look different than stock after cleared? And what exactly does cleared mean?

i personally hate tinted headlights or headlight covers. like others said, looks like a WT to me. color match the front end, itll look great.

 

what he means by cleared headlights is the stock headlights with no orange in them

I plasti dipped the emblems on my Black mazda 6(well the letters, had issues with the flying M, trying to make it an angry M but kept peeling off more than I intended) ). That stuff is sweet. Cheap and effective. Mods don't get better than cheap and effective.

It looks great. I may have to give it a shot on my bumpers. I didn't realize the white plasti-dip would look so good.

I like the rear bumper a lot. However, I agree that the front now looks like a work truck. IMO, white would look much better on the grille and front bumper. Then, you could do a black bowtie and leave the honeycomb part between the grille bars black. I'm on the fence about the headlights.

Ok bought a set of OEM 500 mile like new take offs for $95 off ebay this morning. Going to cut them open and take out the lenses paint the grill and bumper white and be done with it. After looking at pics of white trucks with the white bumpers and grills with cleared heads I beleive I will be happy. Can anybody steer me in the right direction for turn signal bulbs that are clear or chrome look or hide as best as possible with the amber lense removed that illuminate amber for blinkers? Also will be selling my tinted heads if anyone is interested when I complete the mod on my new ones if anyone is interested. Thanks
