this has been taking me longer and costing more than expected.

I still havnt put these pieces on, and didnt really think to take pictures when I was doing the back bumper. the original had a big dent in it and this one was originally grey. Because of the body lift I relocated the spare tire hole & filled the original with fiberglass and aluminum screen. Its not aligned yet im waiting to get everything on and do it all at once.

The front bumper and ends were brand new & the bumper was coated in black epoxy and had severe machining marks (lots of filler primer). The ends were still bare plastic.

Still have to take off scrub the plastic valance clean and coat it with adhesion promoter, and paint it.

Looks good! Only thing I will say is your Blazer badges are too far back on the doors! lol. Any reason why you didn't go completely de-badged?
