very professional!

GrafixGuy 10-20-2008 09:56 AM

sorry but I'm not pulling off those side vents they are on there way too good...lol

Looks really good. Makes me wish I kept my gutter guard grille.

04blackedge 10-20-2008 11:03 AM

I should have this tonight, the people at my lowes at home are idiots. They didn't know what gutter guard was haha

0RangerEdge2 10-20-2008 11:03 AM

Looks great!

My plastic grille shell was a P.I.T.A too. I actually stabbed my self in the finger with a screw driver trying to get the darn thing off.

looks good... it would probably bug me to have the meshing be different but it does drive me crazy there's nothing there now. very nice!!

08XLT4x4 10-20-2008 08:37 PM

Very nice! This is now on my list of future mods...

98liftedranger 10-20-2008 08:37 PM

It will last a while! Do the bottom and don't worry about it not lasting!!! It will.

GrafixGuy 10-20-2008 10:57 PM

haha... the last piece down there was auto zone mesh, lost it while running down highway 231 ~65mph...

Oh... I did another thing... I hated how the turn signal sockets turned brown, so I hit them white white satin paint and they look like brand new...

Roddy 10-21-2008 12:21 AM

Looks good, the gutter guard is an epic fail tho IMO

korey89 10-21-2008 12:23 AM

I'm inbetween, maybe if the whole grill was the same mesh I would look ok but I don't think it looks too good being two different meshes.

GrafixGuy 10-21-2008 08:48 AM

I think billet just looks to plain IMO. I've always wondered how it would look with the stock emblem in the middle.

GrafixGuy 10-21-2008 10:57 AM

if I can find a decent black billet grill I'd like to install one...

korey89 10-21-2008 10:47 PM

Buy one and paint it yourself if you can't find one, as long as you prep it good you'll never be able to tell the difference.

t3ob 10-21-2008 10:52 PM

I've got a billet grill on my truck w/ the emblem in it, and I think it looks good!

Trigger01 10-22-2008 08:22 PM

I like your grill with the gutter guard, but the billet grill looks like poo.

thanks man, I gotta go back and fix/re-tighten a spot on the pass side, went through the touch less car wash and its still holding strong... I took off the adhesive and used plastic epoxy (JB weld) haha

Trigger01 10-23-2008 08:32 AM

IMO it would look good on the valance too, it looks kinda weird with just a big hole there with nothing in it.
