Bumper is awesome... I'm going to do that this weekend I cut the bumper down bit that looks way better... Awesome job. I guess the stock fog lights don't work win ya take the plastic off ?

What size tires are you rollin' here? Any lift?

I have been chicken shit too for that past 2-3 weeks. My son has been bugging me to do it. I have 1" body lift, 34's on 17" wheels and am afraid they will look dwarfed. I have taped one off but still can't really picture it. Everyone's pics look great but they are runnin' 35's to 37's in the pics. What to do.....

Once I start, there is to going back either. What do a set of stock 2007 fenders cost in case I want to go back?

I have a question for everyone who chopped they're fenders DIY style.I was planning on doing mine using a sawzall, and plan on wiring in some aftermarket led lights for the running lights. My question is, so it doesn't look frayed where I cut, is there like a liner that I can buy for the trimming.
