    well buddy... + and -....

    i have mixed feelings, one thing, your grill is crooked...you can see it when you look at the joint of your grill and your hood.

    1. im very impressed that this is how your first project turned out, for all you naysayers- it took the wright brothers over 300 tried to perfect the plane to fly less than 40 feet!
    this is pretty damn good for a first experiment
    2. i would not consider this a finished product... i think if you kept tinkering with it you could make it look amazing, you have the intelligence and dedication to do it, so dont give up before its a 'finished product'

    but, it looks like it will do the job, and if you hit someone, they are definately gonna be the sorry ones...

    Thanks Jack, the grill is crooked cause it is ziptied to the radiator support right now, when I do the sheet metal work, I will straighten it out.
    As for the bumper, in and of itself, it is done, but I need to do the filler stuff and the super heavy duty skid plate.
    As for the lighting, it looks like a UFO! It is so bright that I need to add a manual switch to shut off the driving lights, and I haven't even upgraded them to HIDs yet! All the lights are controlled via the factory stalk as of right now. I will add a switch for the driving lights tomorrow so I can turn them off if I need to.
    Here is a short video of how it looks, I just shot it and edited it rough, so bear with me.
