I'd say no for a stinger or hoop, it looks good as it is. And for paint I used that Rustoleum thick textured black paint. Put a few coats on and you'll never scratch through it, and its cheeper than Hurculiner.

Yeah I think I'm going to do a flat or semi smooth black. That texture grabs every little fiber when you wash it. I like the idea of the hoop. But when I get my bender back I will tac it on post a pic and see what you all think.
I built this bumper to have a smaller lip on the front and its still big so I think a little hoop (not stinger) would break up that big lip.

The fabrication looks great.
Tho, I'm not a fan of this bumper at all. For some reason it looks like a fat lip.
I think maybe I'd like it more if it had a small hoop or something. Idk.
Other than that. Good job.

Ha that's funny I think the other styles look like a fat lip. From the grille to the front of the bumper I am about 3 to 4 inches shorter. I almostvdid put a bar on it butvi think less is more some times.

I think I will hold off on the hoop. I am starting the top hat, roof rack, rock sliders and rear bumper. I think with the rack the simple bumper will look good.
