    Which one is more appealing, without bars or with them? I kinda like the clean simplicity of the one with no bars.

    I honestly like em both but Iv seen some trucks with the bars and it almost covers up the front of the truck too much. I think itd be better without IMO

    It looks like you drew half of it then flipped it over to make it symmetrical. How do you do that?

    Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Go to the Image Icon at the top of the screen and hit Flip/Rotate. Then hit rotate horizontally. Simple lol

    To make it perfectly symmetrical you have to have a vanishing point on a grid as well.

    And we'll see about the bars or not. I LOVE my brush gaurd on the truck and dont want to get rid of it.

    I like the no bar look ( obviously ) and your truck is going to look insane when it's done !!

    And Elcamino, the reason I have a hitch up front is bc my winch is in a cradle that had a hitch on it so I can have front/rear winch capabilities
