Re: got the grill together.
Looks awesome, one thing I would try and do is smoke the parking lamp lens, would help them blend into the blacked out grill area.

Re: got the grill together.
Thanks for all the comments guys. I still haven't gotten much further on putting the truck back together cause i have been busy at work so yesterday i focused on just that and took care of it. The bumper is just a 81-82 bumper and im just going to "adapt" a hid kit in the factory lights, if they melt, which i doubt. it was 40 bucks i lost, if they don't it would looks super nice in my opinion.
The chrome straps are really the factory ones stripped and polished. I have a good friend that has a chrome and polishing shop so i took it to him and he took care of the rest. Which by the way i had him chrome my tailgate handle for 10 bucks instead of paying 60 plus the 20 bucks shipping and handling that LMC wanted. I also had him polish the factory bowtie in the grill. I have something planned for that too. since i had my grill painted the color of the truck and the straps polished the plastic pieces behind the emblem arent there so the emblem almost looks like its floating. I have an idea when i do my fog lights im going to put some leds behind it to make it lit up from behind, nothing real bring just a little bit of lite, i think it will look trick. |

Re: got the grill together.
That looks awesome. Did you get the headlight bezels from LMC as well? Also would your friend be willing to polish mine :-)

Re: got the grill together.
yeah the bezels are from LMC they fit pretty nice im glad they didnt get that wrong. I actually think he would have a problem with that, he did them so quickly it took him no effort. now running the risk with the parcel services is a risk you will have to take, they find a way to mess everything up. best bet is strip them and have a local place polish them shouldnt be much money at all.
