Actually Mike, take a look at this thread too - thejean did some amazing photoshopping on some pics with a bunch of different looks for the grill and surround. I can see yours with the bars painted red and the [ ] parts black.

How exactly did the shop paint chrome bumpers? I had the same idea and every shop around said the paint won't last and they won't warranty it. They say to properly remove the chrome the bumpers have to be heated and it will damage them. They suggested buying paintable bumpers (like on the XL) and going that route, but for $700 out-the-door I'll pass.

Thanks. Lift shipping out on Tuesday, then wheels and tires. It should look real good in a week or two.
