Hi all!

I've just registered to be able to post but have used this forum and others for a while now on maintenance issues on my Dodge.

Been working on an update for my second gen because I liked the looks of the 4th gen front so well. Thought I'd post and see what anybody thought.

You get points for originality . It looks pretty good to me. How well does it fit against the hood? And what is that bumper from ??

I'm not a fan of the bug shield, but the bumper and grill look nice.

Are you planning on putting something in that gap between the headlights and bumper?

The grill doesn't fit against the hood very well, thus the bug shield. I built the bumper.

I was going to put some 10"LED light bars in the gap.

Def an interesting look! More pics when the light bars are put in please, less gaps and I'll probably like it a lot more

Constructive criticism welcomed as well :)

On a side note, if anyone is interested in buying this setup, I would be willing to sell it as I would like to try building a slightly different bumper and try a 2500 series grill.

I have the 4th gen bumper. I am trying to find a chrome grill that drops a little more to fill in the gap.
