What "color" was the rear bumper powder coated? And how much did that cost you, if I may ask?

This truck is looking awesome! Want to do mine next? :D

I'm not sure what the name or the color code is for the powder coat on the bumper. It's just a basic silver/gray that is pretty close to how it came originally but not exact. It cost $100 to have them clean, prep, and coat it top and bottom. If you've ever dealt with powder coated items you know how tough and durable it is, great for high wear items like step bumpers and well worth the cost if you ask me. :thup:

Almost there, still have allot to do but its coming along. exterior is nearly complete minus the spotlight, rocker mouldings, and a few other little things that I still have to put on. Then I'll be tackling the interior which won't be too bad, then a little touching up under the hood.

Oh man, that is so beautiful I am almost in tears. I may have missed it, but did you do the CS badges yourself? I haven't seen a badge that nice in my life, or with color.
