Hey everyone,
As luck would have it, I've ended up having the rest of August free from work or school. I've dubbed August 'Truck Month' as I'm pretty much spending all of my time on my truck.
Truck: 1998 Mazda B2500, 2wd, 5sp
I need some help/opinions:
Bumper - My front bumper is pretty badly dented on the passenger side and is rusting bad. I'm looking to replace the bumper and am wondering if its easier to buy new, or look in a junk yard?
Valence - As with the bumper the mazda valence is also gone. I've been finding it difficult to find the Mazda specific valence, but I can find the ranger style everywhere. Should I bother with a valence? If so - Mazda or Ranger?
Headlights - Headlights are pretty much shot. Shipping to my part of Canada from the states is about as much as the lights themselves if I buy from ebay. I like the darkened projector look but I'll settle for a clear lens/oem style. Anyone know of any good buys?
Fogs - I've got a lot of fog to deal with and no lights to help. I'll be hooking up fog lights whether or not I get a valence. With a valence they'll be installed where they're supposed to go. Without a valence I've been thinking of putting them on the bottom of the bumper, on either side by the tire. Check the pic...
Thanks for all your help!!!
