Building a superduty bumper (pics)

if your going to leave your grille black then I'd paint the bumper black as well.

Also, I think it's time for bigger tires

oke:

I was thinking of doing the bumper red with a harley grill painted red around the edge and left chrome in the middle. I am saving for tires and wheels I think i am going with 38 15.50 20 on 20x12 wheels.

good call on the wheels and tires. looks like you'll have plenty of clearence. You got an 8" lift?

IMO I'd PTM the grille and the bumper and leave the harley headlights. just my .02

Yea it is a icon 7in coil with a 1in icon tei spacer but it is around a little more than a inch than my old 8in fabtech coil. what does PTM mean?

paint to match. make it all red. I think it looks cleaner, but thats just me

If it were me, I would leave the grill black, paint the bumper and see how it looks. I think the contrast would look nice. But you could always switch it up if you didn't like it. Black bumper red grill, black on black, red on red so on..

I say black bumper, harley headlights, and red harley grill
