Hi Dave, how many centimeters is your bumper wider than the pickup's "fenders"?
Is it very noticeable? Does it bother you?

I am considering to fit my grx's bumper to the pickup, but it is about 4cm per side wider (if I'm not mistaking).
Just worried that it would look funny...

I think that "extra" space is just where your GRX plastic flares would sit?

Is that an excuse to have big flares fabricated??? :blonde:
