Looks pretty good except for the exposed bedside in the corners.

You should dimple die all those holes in the top plate, that'll really make it sparkle.

Nice bumper! Is it built onto the receiver or is it mounted separately?

Yea I wanted to dimple die but i don't even have a press. I hope to get a press and dimple die set rather soon!

I might make a variation and have longer plates that go out to the bed sides.

Thanks! It bolts to the hitch and also mounts to the stock bumper locations

Just an Opinion, Untill you get the Dimple die's I through some Flat Black paint or Bedliner under the sidearms.

I have a press and 1.5" dimple die if you want to make up new plates and flare them out.

Thanks guys! I might make the plate with the logos on a little longer to cover up more space...
