Nah, just welding retinas to eye lids.
Taken with my old as galaxy s5. Gives off more glare than it leads on lol.

Dang that truck looks c
Sharp lowered and all shined up! Haha. I'm also considering doing a colored wrap for my roof as there's so many bad clear coat spots and it's irritating the heck out of me. Lol.

new/replacement Dipstick came in today



also, whenever i get a new/used vehicle i always buy a Paint Pen to touch up all the surface scratches etc..
a lot of people use "auotmotivetouchuppaint dot com" but i've been using PaintScratch.com for years and generally i like the quality of their nozzles and paint better.

front lip / air deflector / chin spoiler whatever you want to call it.

got mine from LMC Truck Part# 39-7429 $39

box it came in



more reference #'s


fasteners on the ends


the rest of that edge is a slot or flange that slides/pinches over the lower bumper cover edge


this woulda been easier to do before i lowered it! haha
anyways, i used nuts and bolts on the farthest edges


then i used self-tappers to get the rest of it to pull as close to the front seams as i could


this thing'll cut your ankles off now!


i stole a page from @RedRocket playbook and made sure my outer edges were flush and mounted well, then worried about the rest of the curve for better fitment.
Red's build thread is a great resource of info and inspiration. So, thanks for that. and as always thanks to everyone's ideas and input

this lip really Complete's the look of this front end. I love it
couple more pics..

Those lips look clean on a Tahoe but even cleaner on a Denali.
I got lucky and scored a new one of a local guy here otherwise it would've been $39 for the part and $50 for shipping :-/
