Nice subtle touch on matching brush guard color to your wheels, really sets off the whole thing.
Thanks. The exhaust tips are also color matched bronze, and I have matching badges that can go on, but I haven't gotten around to putting the badges on yet. I had originally trimmed some of the front inner fender liner when I did the original lift with the factory wheels and 31mm spacers. However, the front coils were only set at about 2/3 height. They are now adjusted to about 3/4-7/8 height, and the smaller spacers helped. it doesn't rub at all now, but the fenders were already altered a little bit.

I thought the tips were but couldn’t quite tell, I was going to suggest the badges and grill if you were going to keep it but sounds like you were already on it. Funny cause that’s a color combo I’ve been thinking about for my own. Do you own a shop in Texas?

Yes, I have a shop here, but not in the sense of a retail shop with a storefront. My garage is co-located with my other businesses, so it's in an industrial area. I do mostly full builds for people, doing the curating work and execution of the build. Some stuff is in-house, and some stuff I sub out.

The bronze combo looks really good IMO. I've done so many blacked out trucks that doing the bronze was refreshing. I'll probably do that on the white one when it comes in.
