I RUINED a perfectly good Roush Grill - Pics Inside - 56K You Are Warned

Bought 2 matching chrome over plastic Roush grills, one to install, and the other to chop up into a smaller grill. Here are some aftermath pictures of the carnage:

There are four untouched slats on the grill, which would work for a 06+ bumper. I found (even after measuring 57 times) that four slats looks like too little on the 04-05 bumper, and of course in the process of removing it and putting it back 57 times, it is all scratched to sh*t and wouldn't look good. But, the good news is, you CAN for sure get 3 06+ inserts, or 2 04-05 inserts out of one Roush grill.

On a side note, if anyone DOES want the scratched 4 slat grill I have already cut out, its your for free. It doesn't really look that bad, but I wouldn't feel right charging someone for it. It is pictured in my first post in this thread (third picture from the top). Just pay actual postage, and its yours.

They are 275-70-18. Truck is 2.0" AS Levelled and 3" Body Lift. It is pitch black here now, but here are a couple pics for you:







Sorry for all of the filth, it has been raining, and I can't bring myself to wash the truck in the rain.

Nice truck, love that Arizona Beige.

You need bigger tires.
