That looks sweet! I dont know how i would get it to mount in between them like that tho. I am sure i can come up with something and try it at least. Thanks!


Update on the grill:

The week in the sun has changed it a little or at least enough that I can tell a color difference now. I think it may have had something to do with applying wax too soon. I decided to strip all the wax off and wet sand it real good with some 2000 to try and get rid of some more orange peel and i think I got almost all i can with out going to far. It looks alot smoother but the white is off slightly. IDK I may just be looking at it too close.

Here is a pic after the 2000 Dont know if you can tell but the reflection is much clearer than before..

Too much black for me if anything I would color match it. Unless it's a black truck a black bumper just looks work truck to me.

Thought I would update this thread...... The grille did not hold up well at all unfortunately. Once the bugs and sun beat on it for a few weeks it started discoloring pretty bad to the point where it turned a nasty yellow color. Currently I am in the process of stripping it down so I can take it somewhere and have it professionally matched. So now my truck Is without a grill and has been for too long, it's very depressing :-(

Sorry I haven't been around the forum much, I try but my ride just hasn't been at the top of the list lately. I hate when my truck becomes just a simple means of transportation and not a fun hobby.

Gonna try and get some quotes in the next week for the paint. Anybody have a suggestion around the Tampa Bay area?

Let me do some research for you, a few have used Tim at alternative koncepts but that's a good drive for you just to have a grill painted, so let me ask a few friends this side of the bay.
