Personally I would take the whole thing off the front end but then what would you do with the lights?

I like the look without (looks tougher with just a bull bar), but if you do a lot of bushwhacking then it would be practical...

The truck appears to be "cleaner" without the headlight guard...

i like it better with the whole grillegaurd setup off..

8-)

but since ur running lites on it, leave the lite guards off..

i find that guard makes ur whole truck seem smaller...think the eye it takes ur eye away from teh front end..

ur truck looks great with that hood and HD lites by the way... very mean...

and of course those 08 mirrors are truely drool worthy...

Keep them off, the truck looks a lot more powerful, with them it looks like your afraid of anything happening. I do like the bull bar though.

LOL Yeah I didn't have custom plates at the time. It was some weird crap like 44BDR23 or something. So I always removed it. When I got custom plates it didn't bother me. Seriously, if you come looking for me, more power to you!
