looks soooo clean im jelly of you paint

i still see gap tho..go lower about another half inch or more

I got the car in January of 2010. It was put back on the road when I got my license in November of 2010. For those 10 months the paint was pretty much all I cared about.

Im gonna go like an 1/8th inch lower in the threads all around. Don't know how much more of a drop that is, but thatll be as low as I go with the ABS lip and summer rims.

When I see the first possible snowfall in the news. Im changing to my stockies and my OEM truck bedlined front bumper. And maybe slamming it.

Nope, the bumper I have now is a pre painted bumper I bought off of Ebay. You can tell the paint difference in some pics. It was like $230 shipped

Exactly, the paint is all f'd up from when my mom had the car. So i'm just gonna spray it with some bedliner.

I would only do it if it was easily reversible. But I'll think about it!

Looks great John. Nice progress!

Just keep the bedliner on your winter bumper and nothing else

Thanks Justin!

And you bet! I don't want to copy Matt's idea but it's the less expensive way out. And I can't use my ABS lip in the winter.
