Lookin good but I see you missed your fender badges! Duplicolour makes a black chrome paint kit that I have used before. I am going to do my fender badges with it. I just had my 5 year old worn aluminum American eagle rims powder coated white and they look like new again. What do you pay for powder coating down in "merica". My wheels were $100 a piece Canadian and my wifes jeep bumpers were $2-250 a piece.

Ugh!!! It never ends. Every time I come to the forum thinking I’m finished with the project you guys point out something that could make it even better and now I have to spend more time and money on it Lol.
The wheels are a tough decision because I have a set of OEM 20 inch wheels I’m going to put on eventually and I’m just not sure about changing them to black. The badges .... again not sure.
The rear bumper was $275 to Powder coat... but I found a less expensive place to do the front. It’s a higher volume place and they were able to sandblast off the chrome so I didn’t need to buy an entirely new bumper like I did for the rear. Wish I had found this place before I did the rear bumper project. Could have saved $200!!
All in the bumpers were:
front: $300 to dechrome and powder
rear: $500 for new bumper and to powder -$25 I sold old bumper for.
I'd leave the badges and hub caps chrome. If you black out those, then you'll have to black the headlights as well. (the housing to get rid of the chrome, not the lens)
