Re: Rear Grill?

I voted no, but am changing my mind. I like it! It looks cool, different.

Re: Rear Grill?

Thanks guys!

Well I didnt take many pictures but heres what i did ,im still in the process of making a flip up license plate because im going to install a hitch if i need to pull a trailer heres a picture without the license plate on and you can see the hitch hole(got to fab a hinge and make some big holes for the license plate bolts to pass through when the hinge closes, so dont mind the cocked eyed drilled holes):


and heres the grill i used two different size drawer knobs instead of bullets like the front grill:

the license plate is just mocked up right now I have the LED plate bolts to light it up:

This is my first attempt at something custom besides doing frenched headlights or tail lights

Re: Rear Grill?
