I made the panel out of ply and covered it with a piece of leather that I had hanging around. Even stuck an old Jeep badge on.





Also, printed out a set of white backgrounds for my dash....

What did you paint that with? Is it just black paint or is it like the rubber coating paint?
Thanks

Spray, I dont remember the brand. I'm sure any brand would work. Yeah the Auto store had it along with other colors. I think walmart might even carry something similar.

Nice to see someone else that has stock bumpers with no rubber end cap things. I did the same thing with mine and will soon get rid of the fender flare things just like that.

Its great to see a picture of it done so I know about what It will look like!

Thanks for the compliments guys! My original black paint job was going bad and I had seen this done to some hunting trucks. And since I hunt I thought why not. Its a spray on, Off brand of rhino-line under the name of Eagle. Cost me 600.00 but that was because my buddy has a shop that sprays truck beds otherwise it would have been about 2500.00, thats what he told me anyways.

it was pretty easy to do, unlike most people i didn't take the seat belts off, i just kinda slid the plastic panels behind them down. to remove the foam i used my vacuum and then used a pad that came with a bed liner kit.
to attach the new stuff i used 3m spray adhesive i think it is called something like 77 super? then used tacky glue on the back/edges. al in all an easy job that just took some time and patience.
