It was kinda sitting funky on a hill in this pic and it didn't have to rear bumper on so it dose sit better but I want to do air on it eventually with a 4 link rear.

And the front bumper is off what vechicle?  Normally I see some wrap around on that syle.  Yours does not.  Much better look in my opinion.  And I would say you tend to like green.

Did you just cut the 90 degree off an then do a fiberglass inside the bumper with the rounded end?  This may be a mod I need to take on next spring.  Already backed up too far this summer.
