Eddie Bauer Trim...opinions please

[Savage]

First off, this site is damn AWESOME! I've used the info here to learn all i need to know about the mods i've been thinking about. Although this is my first post, and my mods are still in process....I've been here MANY times to research things for my soon to be "not so stock" EB. Thanks, guys!

Now to my post:
I've been thinking about having my bauer tupperware painted black to match the body. what do you guys think? I will probably need to trim it to fit the BFG 32s that i'm getting (although i REALLY want 33s), and thought it would be a good time to do both at once. Heres a before and after pic (with a little photo editing). what do you guys think? stock, black or removed entirely. Thanks.

if u decide to make it basically look like a limited, u should paint the chrome parts of the bumpers black too, just make everything black.

thanks for the replies. i appreciate your feedback.

Todd - thanks for the heads up on geocities. i obviously didn't know and worked on that link for about 30 minutes thinking i was doing something wrong. ARGHH!

your not the only one about the easiest thing to do is just put a link for it. thats wat i do.

i do like the idea of the chrome on the bumper being painted too. that'd look awsome

For 33's, you would need alot of trimming, so just ditch the tupperware altogether.....

I have been looking at doing this too and I think I have decided to ditch the tupperware. Problems I run into is even with rock sliders every time I go off road it gets mangled. Only there are two isues with removing it.

1) lots of holes , have to fill and paint or something
2) the rear between the bumper and wheel well is not pretty without some sort of trim in there. I haven't figured out what too do yet, other than going to a salvage yard and getting the pieces off an XLT or something to paint them too.

I am going to try to paint my x this spring so I will proly pull mine off then and weld the holes shut.
