You shouldn't worry about what others think anyways. Just go about your business and let the compliments come to you. Cause if you ask, you might not want to hear what other might say.

Just my 2 cents though.
Its not chrome its polished aluminum. The pictures really don't do it justice because of the sunlight and reflection. It looks better in person. But then again some people don't like shiny parts on their trucks thats why were are all entitled to our own opinions and so many of our trucks look so different.

Just my 2 Cents

In the pictures it looks ok, not great. I have however seen that grill in person, and it looks great! I think the picks make it look cheap.

Nice mod!

Looks to me like it's an FX4 Grill. Exactly the same as mine. If it is, then you connect it on the backside of the honeycomb part of the 6 bar.
Piece of plastic sticks into the honeycomb and you have a screw and some plastic washer type thingy on the back and use that to hold it in place.

I agree.

oh I see. well maybe if the lower grille was all one solid piece instead of having the slots, then it would go together better? I'm not if such a lower grille insert exists.
