shaving grille emblem
 
1 Attachment(s)
so i got this idea that i wanna shave the emblem off my XL grille, and smooth it out, what would be the way to go as far as filling the grille bars to make it look factory


this is what i'm talking about

It is possible but will require some skill to cut, bond, sand, and paint the new one if you use a donor grille; you could always fiberglass it..


off topic: are those 14" rims?

SVT01RANGER 02-24-2008 11:03 AM

nope 15" explorer deer hoof


i'm thinking if i could find a donor grille

FX2.3 02-24-2008 01:54 PM

I'll have to check the condition of the one I have sitting in the garage, took it off as soon as I got the truck, might let you have it minus shipping..

SVT01RANGER 02-24-2008 02:03 PM

that would be really cool james

Trigger01 02-24-2008 02:05 PM

Please tell me you plan to paint the grill to match the truck too.

I don't like it, looks like its missing something. I say cut out the bars and put in a billet grille.

Trigger01 02-24-2008 02:48 PM

Didn't you have those wheels on your truck not long ago?

SVT01RANGER 02-24-2008 03:01 PM

yeah, i use them for my summer wheels, right now i'm stuck with the winter tires


i have a billet grille, i took it off, and put the stocker on for a different look... besides everyone has a billet

Fx4wannabe01 02-24-2008 03:02 PM

winks 02-29-2008 11:22 AM

This isn't good... its giving me ideas.

I agree with everybody else, it does look much better with the three horizontal bars.
