lmao I saw that thanks I love TX but not enough to make that mod BMWRINO,
AKAlius thanks for the welcome if you have a good reference for body shops who can do paint jobs and installs for Mtech bumpers etc I would appreciate it.
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome I will look forward to learning and hopefully contributing good information
