Thanks Dayton!! That looks awesome. I have Rescue green too, so it is nice to see the combination of the bumper and the RG. Love it

Since you have the Semi gloss covered, the black mid width on our page is text, you can click the pictures on the right to enlarge.

Here's another with the textured close-up. The textured matches the look of the flares, rails, etc.

I think that you should go with textured black. It will look better with your flat black wheels.

Just be prepared to wait.

But you will be happier once you get it the way you want it.

x2 on the textured black powercoating. It will match the finish on your factory fender flares.

Here is a pic of my Shrockworks mid width in textured black:

Nice hood ornament! But does it fall off in the rough stuff?

Like the jeep and the rifle.

I am 5 weeks in on the wait for a mid in textured black. (soon ) Did you measure the front height difference before and after the new bumper? Also how much did the winch effect the sag? I know the Shrockworks mid weighs 95lbs but I have no idea what the stock bumper weighs.
