Default My 100% custom paint protection!

ok guys, so i decided to do a little paint protection with my truck this summer, so i went and bought everything id need. I finally got around to working on it all and of some pics of my current progress. So far only the rear has been done, i will be doing some custom plasma cutting and fabricating for front side. Heres some pics.

Last night @ the shop after having too many beers and getting rear done

Nice Pictures, real clean truck, those flaps will sure help keep the salt and snow off the body. Are they stiff enough to keep from flapping forward and catching the tire on those through bolts?

Look good man.

I still think your rear bumper needs a dent in it though -
