Not sure if it will stay red but it's kind of growing on me. The only thing i'm not to sure of is to put a stinger on or not. I don't have any die's that will bend 180* only 120*. So it won't be one of those sharp bends it will have to go up like 70* then plain out 6-8 inchs then 70* back down. I just don't know! Oh well I'm happy with what I got and just wanted to share :thumb:.

Looks good:waytogo: I like the red as well fits in with the other red accents. I'd even consider painting the core support tubes red as well:D
 
Added the stinger today. Not sure if I should brace it or if I should just let it ride. Most of the ones that I've seen have tube that goes from the stinger down to the main section. But in any event here it is.

Should make me one but the size of a full front clip, like yours without the stinger hah..really, you should. Looks great man
 
I'd brace it , makes it a little stronger and easier to high lift from the corners . Since you can't tie it to the frame up front easily with the suspension and steering box in the way , and the center frame rails have to hold the bumper on alone .
 
looks good, one question though. why didn't you go higher with the stinger? isn't the point of a stinger to protect the front end in a rollover? on a buggy with a narrow front end they can be actually functional. I understand you did it for looks but what determined the height for you? can you just see it from the driver seat?

bracing would make it look better and make it more functional as a bumper offroad.
