Thumbs down billet to the head

Oh no, billets on the 09's. Dear God... I just have never understood how people could like those things, but to each his own.

Certainly give him credit for taking the risk of cutting into his truck though, always scary to mess with stuff like that. Nice outcome - in terms of the cutting he had to do.

From one Paratrooper to another I say it looks great. You definetely need to add lights behind the grille and add a Blue Oval to it. Great looking truck though.

What is that on your tag? From a distance it looks like it could be confused with something entirely different than what it actually is, I'm sure.

Haha I thought it was a sailor thing, kind of looks like an anchor but I can see where it could be misconstrued to be something else.

Looks good. Because its so big it's might be a little plain, but the blue oval might bring it back in. Think it looks really good though. I went with the polished Billet inserts. They look good too.

I think the billet looks awesome on the 09s, that blue is probably my favorite color out there too

I think you did a great job. Personal opinion - the amount of black billet is too much.

This isn't a slam against you. If it was me, I would have used the XLT grill instead. The chrome would be a nice touch. Or I would have the FX4 black areas of the grill painted to match.
