Yes i agree especially blacked out without any chrome. I plan to spray the turn signals and tail lights with VHT Night Shade in the spring. Headed to store now to pickup a fire extinguisher then try and mount that up today.

Got my hi lift in but seems the base plate didn't come with the hardware to keep it attached to the frame. I bought a pin for it to find out the holes didn't even line up. So drilled those out and got the pin installed. I cant believe that part got past quality control

Well got the hi lift mounted but didn't have time to deal with the rear sway bar. I like how its so close to the seat.Its up and out of the way there.
