@kazer

i used krylon fusion for plastics. flat black. I just taped off the bumpers scrubed them good and sprayed 2 coats. I would not recommd doing the taping tho, i would take off the pieces, clean, prime, and then spray them. I have to much overspray and mess ups with taping.

It is a mesh grille. The grille is actually supposed to be an overlay on the stock grille. I didnt like how that looked so I dremeled out the stock grille leaving only the outer edges to mount the mesh grille to.

02EBEX · 06-05-2011, 05:55 PM

No doubt. Grille looks hella good. Those mesh grilles are a little pricey from what ive found. If u dont mind me asking what brand is that grille and what did it set u back.....

THE SKID PLATE AND NEW UPPER ARMS

*lynchy wa* · 06-06-2011, 07:49 PM

Came up a treat there mate! We should be getting some invoices soon ay? Good stuff.

*Ronin8002* · 06-06-2011, 07:50 PM

Looks great DB!

Any difference in how it rides with the arms?

dirtball619 · 06-06-2011, 08:36 PM

I haven't driven it a whole lot since I have had it back but it does seem to have better wheel travel. The ride is just as good if not better than with the stock arms.

*Kazer* · 06-08-2011, 06:18 PM

I can't decide if i want to get a vinly window sticker saying "BTF-Fab" or "Ronin8002"
