Roger that, RB. I'm patient for cosmetics like this, but appreciate the SITREP

Thanks for the update!!! :D

Does anyone know how the OE Bull Bar actually mounts? It would appear it is simply screwed onto the bumper itself. I ask because if so. I know a muffler shop that could bend such a piece for a whole lot cheaper than almost $500. I'd then have it powder coated.

not sure, but do you guys mind taking this "offline" or another thread so this one does not get hijacked?

ALSO here is an update again!!
here is a pic of the first skid plate he made yesterday and the mold he used to create it.
assuming he is happy with the first skid plate (he never mentioned any issues to me) hopefully the rest will be coming soon.

WOW!

I didn't mean to attempt a high jack of the tread with my bull bar question. My apologies. I was reading through the past post where a good picture of an OE BB was posted and the question came to me.

Anyway I'm liking the new progress update. Appreciate it.

Kristophe, they look SICK, but I'd say you're better off buying a factory one. Aftermarket may not have rigidity/design as the factory design.

Bump for updates :thumbup:

We should be getting really close
