** My Bodykit Idea **
Planning on getting rid of the bars and getting the Expression Highway Kit. However, I don't like how there will now be 4 foglights, and how there are way too many lines, the front looks too busy. Thanks to bocobod for taking these pics of his Kleemann ML32K. Here's what my bodyshop suggested... Mold the lip into the bumper so its one piece, and delete the foglights from the lip, and keep the OEM fogs, and use mesh as its replacement. I love the way it looks, I'm thinking of using silver mesh to match my grill and lower grill...

I also plan on molding the rear bumper as well to match the front...

Out Of Control!!
hey Vik, mysuggestion...
Smoke out or paint your factory fogs and use the ones with the kit... If the fog lamp housing is big enough, fit in a set of HID fogs, or ION bulbs...
I like the fact your not using the side steps because when I first saw the black ML above I thought ford explorer.
Then gettin it all molded is tight. It looks good
