I also made some brackets from the same 1/4 inch plating to bolt six screws. On to the frame ..plus 5 more in the middle of the back of the bumper

Looks good, and I can imagine it is a bit lighter than the usual full heavy steal bumpers... can't wait to see what it looks like once you get everything done with it..

flat black means easy touch up for chips and scrapes caused by rocks, where as line x means no chips or scrapes. Personally, I say powder coat it flat black.

I think it looks pretty good the only thing I would be concerned with is the approach angle on the corners for the tires. Might want to think about cutting the ends at a angle to help with that but like I said looks good man.
