I picked up a spare before Tire Rack shelved them.

Anxiously awaiting some daytime pics of your beast's new look.

BTW I liked your truck better before, but I didn't pay for it or drive it so, enjoy.

Here are a couple of daylight shots. I took them on the way out the door this morning. They suck and the truck is dirty as hell. It's an embarassment -- like answering the door in a stained t-shirt, I tell ya.
The light is all wrong (to the back of the truck). The first one is brightened so it's not all black. The second one has been Photoshopped with the ducts black and the HE darkened to simulate the effect of the black grill over it. The wheels turned make the dam look off center. It's not.

That is quite a change and it seems to work well with the wheels. When you add the grills, this will give a much more integrated look to the front end. I'm sure it will look great when its all done.
How was the Sir Mike pan install? I had to do a ton of modifications on mine to make it fit?

extra dollars but the final product looked great. (Til I backed into the
pole at LightningFest in front of like 40 people!) Now the right side is
a tad off ... < grin >
