I did mine a while ago and it still looks good. I like it better than the aftermarket grilles for our trucks. Money well spent IMO!:tu:

This is with the upper and lower grille mod done. It took two rolls of the stuff that I bought at Autozone.

I did the same thing, but before I put the chrome stuff on. I painted the Grills black and clear coated them. Looks good:tu:

I really liked the look of the Harley grilles on our trucks, but they are just to damn expensive. I think these look just as good and are a whole lot cheaper. BTW, my windows are tinted, they just aren't that dark. They are legal tint. I had really dark tint on my Stang and they wouldn't inspect it, so that is as dark as I am gonna go for now.

Bring that thing up here and we will get it done. When are you going to come back here? I can't wait to see the new truck.

Ok, I missed something. First, that looks really cool. Second, how is this done? I would like to do that to my grill. You mentioned "rolls of stuff" what are you talking about?

u trying to say it wont look as good :confused:
....
If you do it right (all straight) it looks sweet...if you **** up a line or two (like i did) then from close it would look a little wavy....but for what is worth....It more than good enough :cool:

A guy at work backed into mine and busted my grille, and you can't really tell till you look close up. I have a new grille to go on, but haven't messed with it yet.

Well I came up the past two weekends... once to sell my camaro :( :( :( and the other was for my sisters bday. So I didnt have any play time, however my next trip up will be to see the gang again. Im wantin to come up when I can see everyone... not sure how/when thatll be tho.

Btw I cleaned the truck up REAL nice, however I didnt have camera at my rents house and after I drove back here the front was SOLID bug guts.
Ill try to get sum pics up saturday!!
