04screw, got a suggestion for ya I know you like the clean look. Take your flares and have them painted to match the truck probably $100-$150 I got some stock size ones off ebay and painted and installed on mine and everyone compliments them. Something about matching flares really shows off!!

Plus you can try it with and without to see which way you like best.
I do still have one question though...the grill was quite a snug fit onto the old Honeycomb grill. When I was all said and done, the very bottom edge of the new grill, just underneath where the Ford emblem was, sticks out away from the old grill about an inch or so. I was wondering if you were able to get the grill completely flush with the original grill surround? If so, am I missing something or do I just need to squeeze it in there harder?
Thanks again! I'll post some pics this weekend after I pickup my new 37"'s.
