gee seeing your grille zeruin may lead me to change out my harley for a fx2 or roush.
thanks alot make me spend more money

 

Now thats a monster of a truck. Very nice job!

 

how did you get your f-150 badges like that. i wanna do that too and make it match the black on my truck. what kinda paint and which color?

 

looks gr8

 

I painted them with Krylon Fusion black satin and then ordered some oval emblem overlays from Patriotdecals.com in flatblack/dsg.. I love them, and the price was right!

 

I'll take that as, "I don't know either but I have short **** syndrome and my girlfriend left me so I'll start an ebattle so I can feel like a man."

 

Yes, That's what I ment...
Did your new grill come with a badge or did you swap yours over?

See you in a bit... Going to order my grill now!!

By the way who makes this Brush Guard:
This is the same grill I have also...




AirAid modular intake tube, K&N filter, Magnaflow Exhaust, Line-X'd bed and fender wells, 2.5 Inch AS Level Kit and 3 inch AS Rear Block, 1 Mile range Viper 5900 SST remote start and alarm system, JL Audio Stealthbox, JL Audio 500/1, JL Audio 300/4, Alpine Type-R 6.5 inch components in front doors, Alpine Type-R 5x7's in rear doors, Alpine Iva-w505, LOTS of Dynamat, 15% Tinted windows, Billet Grills in factory H-bar and lower bumper.

 

I dunno bout the bull bar, but you just re-use your old badge, just make sure you save the little screws that attach the emblem to your h-bar grille, they look better than the push screws that you get with the Roush grille install kit..

 

i got some dupli color black paint that i got from an o reilly parts store will that work to black out the badges?

 

there was a thread somewhere for that bullbar. its on ebay. search there and you will find it.

 

Nice job! Looks great

 

the whole black thing is a bit too much for me, but I do like it. I prefer a little contrasting color personally.

good job
that is an awesome idea. I might be sporting some blacked out Maggie tips shortly. thanks for the idea

I got some grief down by Austin in Feb 2007 about my plate covers. cops told me it was illegal to cover any portion of the plate. let me off with a warning since I had out of state plates and was military.

stupid law, but next time I drive in Texas I'll remove my covers at the border

 

Yea, they are supposed to be pretty strict here in Texas about covering your plates with just about anything. Obviously you can't have a tinted cover, I doubt you can even have a clear cover (would hinder reflective visibility), you can't have a bracket that covers any part of the word TEXAS at the top of the plate.

So yea, other than that, I haven't really seen an issue with tinted tails around here.. I do catch a lot of cops around here staring me down tho.. I'd like to think it's cuz my trucks awesome tho.. lol

I do have contrast. My truck has black, flat black, satin black, gloss black, semi-gloss black.. just about any and every shade of black.. heck I even sport some chrome inside my headlights..lol

but seriously my emblems/decals are flat black/dsg which really seems to pop for me..

 

that ain't contrast. that is attention to detail.

 

That will be a bitch to keep clean . .
