it looks really sharp...personally....I'd probably just have done away with the third brake light, but it's really impressive

Thanks for looking everyone. Feel free to use any of my ideas on your projects.

Just going to spray paint it black. Eventually I will make side steps/ rocker gaurds. I want to Powdercoat or Line-X everything at one time.

Finished for now. I have had some time to drive the Jeep a few times with the bumper, and no rattles
Tried to take some pictures, sun was reflecting on the paint a lot.
I have a lot of experience with the brand of paint I used. It will go from gloss to semi-gloss after a month or so of sun exposure. The plan is to Line-x or some brand of bed liner in the future. I am fairly happy with the results.
