Very nice. Sorry to say but you can't "hope" to get wheels. You MUST get bigger wheels. Some 19's or 20's are fine and will totally complete the look. I know you know that but it'll look that much better when the wheel wells are filled up more.

What do I need apart from the bumper to change from a 2001 to this bumper?

Do you know the cost of the parts?

I assume new fog covers would be the ne thing for sure, but do i need to change the fogs themselves?

Please let me know i would appreciate it.

VERY NICE! did you decide to do the facelift just for looks or was it due to a front end collision??? (Which is why most people do it.) Seems like that's the only way to justify the cost as opposed to trading it in...

the truck was hit on the front, so this was the best time for me to do the face-lift.

it is all on together 1 bill, when i get some time i will try to break it down and post the $$$

but i can tell you that it was not cheap, the shop that i used is known for doing great work but as we all now the best work = lost of labor money..

everything was about $12,000 for the face lift + aero kit and a few other minor things..

but i can tell you that i`m very happy with the results..

i rather pay the high price for a job that will put a smile on me, than saving a few dollar for a not well done job.
