ARB!! and rear bumper paint job. (pics)

[(4)runnin'it]

first off thanks to kaiser for picking it up and helping install it (mostly him actually). As some of yall know i crashed my rig into a barrier about a month ago or so and ive been posting my progress since. I destroyed my 97 parts and grill guard and replaced them with 02 grille and headlights and ARB, so i guess its not all that bad, especially since i paid 870 for everything (got the ARB for 670 brand new). It still not perfect cause some of the body got a little bent up, but its honestly not enough to wanna spend money to fix it, but it looks a hell of a lot better. I went out and snapped a few quick pics nothing serious but here we go:

can someone tell me what the little things im missing under the headlights are called?

the back bumper is krylon stone textured spray paint (only one coat or its loses the texture) with two coats of duplicolor bedliner on top, the stone paint gives it a really rough feel. im psyched on the way it came out.

Looks good man, nice choice with the ARB. I think the things are called headlight wings? I'm not sure though

 

[bgmac]

Really Nice!!

 

[brian2sun]

Huge improvement! Looks great!

hey i was wondering did you paint the plastic piece on your rear bumper also cause i just did my rear bumper with the duplicolor bed liner and was thinking about painting that too but didnt know if it would stick right thanks

 

[kaiser]

Lookin good, i like the way that rear bumper looks.

The pieces under the headlights are called "fillers". There are left and right specific parts.

Nice, looks good, is that bedliner? ahh Kylon.

 

[FoneRunner]

Can you share where/how you got the ARB for that price? It looks great!

[kaiser]

Krylon, and it was a local pick-up in Texas.

Yup I was about to say that. Yeah krylon is available at lowes or home depot for like 9 bucks a can

it's called bumper filler. pm me the VIN, I can check the part#'s for you.

Disagree, and i am not saying mine is a rig, but putting a steel bumper and an 01 grille on makes it a rig? really?, I think what you do with it defines it, not what you put on it.

Here is a photoshop i did andrew, i would suggest you find a set and put them on, it looks sick.

haha thank you kind gentleman. and everyone else, but the best comment goes to LINY.

Are you saying i dont wheel it enough John? I guess ill have to change that. i dont always take pics when i do wheel though but i guess ill start so i have proof that i do in fact own a "rig." i do think what you put on your truck defines it as a "rig" or not a rig. how you use it just defines if you get your moneys worth out of it or not. if you saw LINY's rig next to a stocker, and the stocker wheeled more than him, and LINY didnt wheel at all, you would still refer to LINY's as a rig and the stocker as whatever. I dunno if that made since but thats my take on it.

part#'s were sent.

each filler is held by a retainer and a screw, I sent you the part#'s of the fillers and retainers.

note these fillers may come in WITHOUT paint, just the primer.
