im going to paint the rest of trk yellow like in the flames and probaly the ralley wheels to.my question is i need a new grille inner/outer and front bumper.i will be putting a stock 72 grille back on it

do i leave the grille and bumper like new

or paint the bumper and inner grille yellow

or paint the bumper and grille inner/outer

just cant make up my mind i hate to paint a new grille but i think it would look better all yellow whats your thoughts good or bad lol

dinnut · 10-25-2003, 08:57 PM

keep the inner/outer grill stock. or wait till the new classic heartbeat steel outer grill comes out. its chrome and ultra awesome. maybe a front roll pan or a chrome bumper

Ditto on the roll pan...It woould make the flames look a lot more slick....Chrome outer grill and center grill.....add a bit of flash...the "hottest" part of the flame....dig???

I'm confused?? Are you leaving the flames? If you are, and you are going to paint rims and all, then paint te grill inner, outer etc, also shave and take all chrome off. If your going all solid yellow, I say use chrome grill etc. Yellow and crome looks good, but no chrome on front and only a few chrome pieces in the back half looks cheap IMO. I have seen the grill painted and the outer chrome on a red truck, it looked good, but I think it was the exception that proves the rule. Good enough answer. Ha Ha
Probably didn't help did it??

I like the chrome or the factory white. BTW, that's almost the color of yellow my original paint is. I'm thinking about some ghost flames. My wife doesn't like the idea, but then, I won't make her drive it.

leaving the flames and painting rest yellow i agree on the chrome if the grille/bumper gets painted the only chrome will be mirrors/door handels/bands and centers

Iron-Butt · 10-26-2003, 12:41 PM

stock grill look

cableguy0 · 10-26-2003, 05:50 PM

leave the stock grille imo need a lil chrome to break things up tooo much painted stuff just doesnt look good and i cant remember seeing a truck with a painted grill that looked good to me

krue · 10-26-2003, 05:53 PM

Take a pic of the front and have someone photoshop it the options you are considering. Then you will have a better idea of what to do.

cableguy0 · 10-26-2003, 06:07 PM

krue just brought up a good point a picture is worth a 1000 words let someone photo hack it post a pic of the front/side view

72shadetree · 10-26-2003, 10:03 PM

it would be cool if someone will photoshop it

i like it the way it is now but the grille is junk and that inner grille has got to go lol

would someone be iterrested in leaving the flames and paint rest of trk yellow with a real 72 grille and chrome bumper and then paint the bumper and inner grill yellow and another with grille inner/outer and bumper yellow i sure would apreciate it thanks alot

72shadetree · 10-26-2003, 10:14 PM

i guess a front veiw would help lol

72shadetree · 10-26-2003, 10:18 PM

more direct shot

krue · 10-27-2003, 12:51 PM

YoU MAY have better luck posting your request on the Photoshop page.:p

REDNEKID · 10-28-2003, 04:07 PM

I know my front end isnt perfect, but here is just an idea for you...

pierce · 10-28-2003, 04:53 PM

Leaving the grill chrome would look Kool!

landon4421 · 10-28-2003, 06:00 PM

Leave the grill and font bumper chrome ! IMO It looks like poop with the grill yellow ! It will look much sharper with the grill and the bumper stock ! Like I said IMO. Your truck looks great other than the yellow grill and bumper. Landon

72shadetree · 10-28-2003, 08:09 PM

thanks alot pierce for that
landon thanks
rednikid pic didnt show you can email it to shadetree722000@yahoo.com

Denny · 10-28-2003, 08:29 PM

I like the chrome on the front too. Your truck will look great with them.

SWINGSAX68 · 10-28-2003, 09:02 PM

get some rallies and paint like fire on them...so it looks like flames are coming out from under the center cap...
