Well I painted my lower grille and took a pic to show the comparison between the stock grey and the black. I will paint the upper tonight. I think it is going to look really good once it is all blacked out. What do you think about it?

I had billetz but I preferred painted with the wheels.

I got my windows tinted and painted my grilles black so I thought I would take some more recent pics of the Lightning. I am liking how it is looking so far. any thoughts?

looks great!

the graphite grey grilles look almost oxidized off the assembly line. I painted mine when I switched to the blacked out stock wheels, now I need some tinted tail lights or the stock red F150 ones to tie everything together. I don't have pics of the grilles just yet since my spray can job wasn't the best. It was a bit too cold and the paint orange peeled on me....but it's a 20/20 paintjob....it looks good from 20 feet going 20 mph. :d

with the grilles out our trucks somewhat resemble the new body Mustangs.
or is it just me?
