I see what you mean PHR

Much more noticeable on the chrome than my black front end

Cheers mate

PS... I'm thinking 2 tone paint may be something I look at in the more distant future... Yours looks awesome!!

Dan,

Have you ever considered installing a 4.5° rake kit on your front end? I have installed the kit from Vulcan and I really like it. It lowered the entire front end about 1.5".

G'day

Not really the look I'm going for thanks anyway

I've got the wheels on & don't think I'll need to lower it

Cheers
