I think it looks sharp.

Definitely fits the scheme better.

Funny thing in those pics. I know it's an anomaly, but those tail lights look like they have amber windows in them.

looks good. a matte black would've matched a little better though, less gloss to match wheels/door handles/steps/etc.

big improvement though, did you powdercoat?

Thanks for the compliments guys.
Not PC, just painted. I figure if the paint really doesn't hold up, I can get it coated later.
And, yes, it is actually the same finish as the wheels, just that the wheels are coated with that special black paint (Nissan Brake Dust).

Looks good man!

Looks very sharp!! Immediate improvement. I've always been amazed at the gray they use for the bumpers. What an eyesore.

But the black, that goes well with everything. Especially black on black.

"Submitted for your approval"... I use that term A LOT. I'm a freelance steel detailer. (as well as a fishing guide... trying to do more fishing and less detailing these days). You don't happen to be in the steel industry do you?

Ironically, the company that I work for does industrial controls in the Cleveland Area, and our business is about 40% steel. Usually not my projects though, I am a glass guy.

Where do you guide? I could always use some fishing tips, or a drinking buddy.

Looks good, nice job.

Looks very sharp!

You could go into Titan modding and make a mint with all the other trucks that would want it done.

I started guiding last year in New Brunswick, Canada. Non-residents require a guide to fish for atlantic salmon. The salmon fishing has been amazing over the last few weeks. We're known for our complaining in this area... and nobody's complaining about the fishing right now.

I also fish for trout. Great brook trout fishing in this area. The locals could care less.

I agree, the body color bumpers look sharp, but that is not something I am equipped to do myself. I could get it powder coated in a body matched color if this paint thing fails...But again:
Powder coated: $325
My solution: $12.50
