I messed up, well sort of.

I took measurements of the skidplate on the truck, noticed it seemed to be an inch too short for the space it fit in (near the top) and extended it an inch longer near the top. Well, rushing through it, I used the same width on the shorter length, and the angles on the sides NEAR THE TOP are off by 1/2 inch. :fume: It matches perfectly on the bottom.

I am going to fix this and have two new pieces recut. Cool shop btw, the waterjet machine is wider than my truck and just as long. I also am going to move the icon down towards the bottom since the license plate frame seems to block a portion of the top of the skull. Oh, and I may revisit the wings, not 110% happy with how they look. Trial and error boys and girls, trial and error. One of three things that didn't go well today.

haha

Ok, revised the icon a bit. made the skull look more aggressive, changed up the wings. The other one was just too simple.

told you ya shoulda put teeth in it haha. do more of a jagged line for the teeth IMO, maybe the last ones on the edges longer(like fangs) might look sweet.

I like it, but the lightning bolts don't really match the wings. :(

I changed the wings to be more straight edged, the curved wings didn't really go. How about now Dan?
