Default Bumper Mod

Got my truck back from the shop today and the first thing I did was remove the dang air dam. Took around an hour (mostly making sure it would look decent) and I'm pleased with the turn out. I'd appreciate any input especially since I'm unsure as to the stability of the center plastic bits strength. It went on with two allen bolts. Has anyone done anything different with this?

Thanks, Towne

Do you like it that way? I'm still considering removing them, I just can't tell if its too open.

I'm still hooked on mine, do not think it looks good without it. Looks more like a Honda front end now.

I completely agree. Unless I get around to welding some recovery points there, I won't remove it. But it looks pretty good as of now.

I removed the center plastic as well. It has a few useful spots where I can mount my dune flag when I need it, I've considered other accessories I could bolt there (lights, perhaps) but I'm not sure how long I'll keep the stock bumper anyway.
