busy making moves ahaha

When I took the truck to get fitted for her bra, the guy and I were talking and it is apparently a bit more permanent then I originally thought, to the point of taking paint off when it comes off. I'm fine with that but I wanted to take care of some flaws to the hood head light cutouts and grill that would have looked worse with the clear bra.

She's perfect now though... After repainting the hood, and grill.....and for shit and giggles I hit the corner lights with some tint. I'll be working on finishing up the projector headlights.

Tinted corners, I'll wire them up soon to see the output but they look perfect. Camera makes them look darker then they are...

Don't mind the ugly stock Yukon headlights

You could probably fabricate a panel to put back there (painted black of course) and it would hide it pretty well.

best bet is paint the trans, and radiator black and the supports..and then i would put a sheet of fine perforated aluminum painted black back there.. i think that the tighter perf would break things up a bit and mask the different items.. thats what i would do...

I'm thinking it will be one of the most badass things on the truck when she's done...a little hint of whats inside and some "mechanical beauty"

I had poped the lenses off my old fog lights b/c the HID bulb was just a tad long and was contacting the metal shield that was infront of the incandecent bulb. The light output on these is going to be awesome especially with HIDs in the Hi's and Low's.
