repainting front bumper, anything to do while i'm there?

hi all,
i'm getting the front bumper repainted on my c2s 06 cab
anything I should do while i'm there?

thinking about a lip. can I have a lip on the front and nothing on the side and back?

any good ideas of stuff I should get done while having the front bumper out for repaint?

thanks

Can be as easy as just grabbing leaves and stuff by hand.
Then I run the garden hose with a shop vac to get out all the sand & gravel.

Clean the radiators, and if you don't have it, get the third radiator kit, it's VERY reasonable.

I'm always amazed, I can see all the leaves and crap....but to hear ALL the Gravel and stuff come up thru the vac is interesting.
I do that at least once a month.
Don't take the bumper off, just use a long vac.

thats a great idea + lower centre console (safe color would be to paint it silver - same as the door handles). my buddy has with a 997TT has a silver console and i cant help but notice how much better it looks then my plastic blue console.

Front LED's much easier to install them with the bumper's out.
