Well picked up an m8000 today for the new bumper..

 

[haddix]

Well I seen I hadn't updated this since I got the bumers painted so heres a couple pics...

 

[ttora4runner]

Did you rattle can the bumper or have it powder coated?

 

[haddix]

Rattle can. Used a few coats of primer then painted w/ krylon flat black. Turned out pretty well. I was suprised. My sliders are powdercoated and I cant tell much of a difference. Wish I would have saved some money and painted the sliders too.

Are the powdercoated sliders very expensive?

It just depends on where you go. I had these custom made locally. You can order slidrrs from demello, 4xinnovations, shrocksworks, and many other. Prices are diff though.
