A few photos of the switch panel inside.

It is the bushwacker - fantastic quality, mounts are solid and looks streamlined. I do think it is overpriced however, for two pieces of plastic with 3m tape. I justified it based on that there was no other shield I even remotely liked the look of - if I did, I would have tried it - $132 cost more that the actual aftermarket grill I put on.

Only other thing I can think of is to be careful on how much you trim bumper so end cap has something decent to mount to. I plan on using the epoxy, and then 5 plastic push pieces each side (2 on top, 2 on fascia, one on bottom). Need to sand them a bit to straighten also.

As promised. Since I only dry fitted these I could take them off. You can see the trimming of the bumper that will be hidden, and the size of the end cap that slides over it. The one thing I wish I thought of at the time would be to make sure the inside part of the bumper (which faces the body) has enough plastic left so when the end cap is on it will still be closed off to the elements. I haven't looked yet but if I took off too much on the inside, I am going to have a gap which I would assume will get filled with water etc with no mudflaps. If that's the case I will add some back on the inside to cover the gap.
