Winch bumper and sliders!
Well Goats winch bumper project gave me the push I needed to pull the trigger on a bumper and Rockstar inspired the design. Sliders were just a bonus. A local rock crawler chassis builder did all the fabrication work. Grill will have to be cut to mount the winch but I'd rather do that than have the bumper stick way out. Couldn't be happier with the outcome, especially since both cost less than a set of aftermarket sliders. Gonna spend the day painting them and changing my brake pads.

Those are nice. One thing before you paint. Get some good weld on recovery tabs and have your guy weld them on. Personally I wouldn't recover you with those two wire hoops. Also have him weld on a fairlead mount as most winches don't have them built in. And maybe some light tabs if you want them. I dig the SS dimpled skid.
Can you shoot a close-up of the dimple die pattern?
I would have painted it with it off of the vehicle. How does it mount?
You may want to get a bodyshop or someone who paints cars and have them shoot it for you when they are painting another vehicle. That is a cheap way to get a good paint job on something like that at a good price.
For a really good paint job, the prep curing is most important factor. Then again, some people are fine with the rattle can stove pipe paint.
