Exterior mods complete! ...well maybe

Here it is! I installed my underride protection bar this past weekend. Combined with the black grille, it gives the X a whole new attitude.

I had angle eyes for awhile, but I took them out in and put the OEM lights back in.... (still undecided). Other mods like powdercoating my wheels in gunmetal and adding a euro plate to the front have been considered, but I didn't want to take it too far. It's clean and tight. I think I will rock this look for awhile while I work on Bluetooth, backup camera and stereo upgrades.

Enjoy the pics!
(still undecided about the euro plate in the last pic)

IMHO, the stock kidney grills would look better since you added the under ride protection. New side marker lenses should be next on your to do list.

Inspired

That is a good looking truck. You've inspired me. I was thinking about the cosmetic plastic undercarriage plate, but this looks so much better.

What's next?

Very well done! Where did you get the underride protection plate from?
