Black Carriage Works Grille Pics

I took a couple of hours this afternoon to clean up the ride. It has been neglected the last few weeks...was in bad shape...especially my wheels. Used some new Mothers FX Wheel Cleaner and I really like it. Used the Mothers FX Tire Dressing also, but wasn't too big of a fan there. I picked up a Mothers Clay Bar kit, but didn't really get time for that today...will wait until it's warmer.

I hadn't really posted any decent pics after my black Carriage Works grille upgrade, so thought I would.

Hey, the pictures in your gallery of your black CW grille were what convinced me to go ahead and do it. Thanks!

I like the Ford oval...don't really dig the no-logo look. That black overlay might be a nice touch though...

Maybe move the Emblem down one notch. I think it would look better without it...but that is just me.

yeah, the emblem seems just a tad high.

Without the emblem, the grill just looks too plain and from a distance it looks like you have a big black hole as a grill. At least that's how I felt. Therefore, it looks much better with the emblem, IMO.

My grill set will actually be 4 years old this May (put them on right after I got the truck), and they have been holding up great and no signs of rust.
