Thanks man! Your truck looks bad *** at that angle. I usually don't like the Torque Thrusts because of the offset, but at that angle they look damn good!

Was that bumper cap sanded down smooth and painted or did you buy a bumper cap that was already smooth?

If you don't mind me asking, how many steps did it take, different grades of sandpaper, etc.? I'm thinking about doing the same thing and was just curious as to how you did it.

Used 320 grit on a DA sander. Anything rougher than that and you will have sanding marks. I didn't use anything after the 320, just sprayed primer, based and cleared it. There is still some fine texture in it, but that's just because I'm a VERY impatient person with A.D.D., not a good combo in prep work! Working on that though.
