And its on sale?! C'mon, man...killin me!

I didn't even notice, lol.

To those who have colormatched their bumpers, did y'all just sand off the chrome from the bumper? What grit? Did y'all have a shop do it?

A friend of mine has an F150 who did his front bumper. He scuffed it up and had a body shop paint it black. Came out pretty good. He's had it done since last summer and I saw it two weeks ago, it's holding up pretty good. He didn't use anything special to prep the chrome before painting.

Sweet, thanks Tony. Probably gonna do that at the beginning of the summer if it's not too difficult.

@MadDogDelpho

Painters did mine. They scuffed it up good, primed it really good and filled in minor imperfections, then the final topcoat and clear coats. Still looking good on both front and rear bumpers. A few very, very tiny rock chips, but shiny and holding tight since Fall 2015.

Another option is vinyl wrap. Probably get both bumpers done yourself and cost under $100. I don't trust painting chrome unless it's completely stripped with sandblasting, not just sanded with paper.
Shop will charge a few hundred each bumper to prep and paint.
Your color would be easy to match up, I've been trying to match up mine but it's hard with the metallic flake.

Polished my exhaust tips and SS grille this morning with some NevrDull and replaced one of my LED map lights that went all disco on me.

Lol I have a map light in disco mode right now too. Really sets the mood.

Finally got fed up and eBayed a 10 pack for $6 and 2 minutes work. Lol

 

[MadDogDelpho]

Well now you have spares!

Y'all have seen a million of these Im sure, but I snuck out and swapped the backup lights last night after the kids went to sleep. The clear lens on the stock 'lade lights is much better then the frosted one on my old denali so my halogens weren't as terrible as on that truck.

Used these compared against 3157's (I had 3457 nighthawks in my denali)

Also holy smokes the DRL's really look yellow in comparison! bonus shots of my beater and my Jeep.

The LED DRL & fog light bulbs came in today

I'm looking forward to seeing how these come out. Certainly looks like nice packaging.

I've got new factory replacement fogs to install that came with 899's (highest lumen 37w halogen that fits in the 880) That I plan to swap for LED's at some point. Might go with 3000k... Probably just match everything else though @ 5-6k.

Is the cutoff still good? I still want to have usable fogs that don't blind people if possible. Looks good in the sunlight.

Did some things today. Bought that CAI off ebay for cheap, and just managed to use some rubber and elbow grease to get it attached to the stock air box.

Sounds pretty awesome at 3/4 to wide-open,

And I snagged this off Ebay for $170
