I know you already had it painted black and it looked great. It would look great painted to match the truck too.

Did you save the cardboard templates? They are a real timesaver for anyone building a bumper and you could probably sell copies of them.

Great job on the bumper! I'd like to build my own variation of a bumper similar to yours someday down the road. Would you be able to take some pictures of your mounting brackets and supports behind the bumper for us?
