Ricks TA looks great (as usual). Slammed1500 did an incredible job on his. Hell, I just celebrated it.

Why not just eliminate the washer bottle and get a little creative in that area?

i just finished reading your build thread, and WOW, got some great ideas for the front end, but first i need to get my bumper repaired (small crack near fog) and re-painted. then i will be re-painting the front crossover bar (maybe smooth it out as well) and give a little love to the other pieces inside there.

I have been toying with the idea of the Jaamram lower plate made in polished stainless. I have an estimate and it would likely cost $150.

Fast Toys sales the lower plate alone in a brushed stainless. They won't do just one. They might make them if enough orders can be placed in advance to afford the entire sheet of 4'x8' polished material. That would probably make 20 lower plates.

Whenever I was having my front bumper resprayed I just painted mine black. It really blended it in and took attention away from that area.
