Don't be too quick to accuse - notice the HC sign on the ground to the right - maybe he's in an abandoned parking lot or the business is closed.

I hate people who park in HC spots illegally just as much as anyone else, but if you key someone's car or flatten their tires you're worse than they are - you have no right to cause real property damage just because someone else doesn't follow the rules.

WRT the thread - I like the grille but am not a big fan of the emblem placement.

For the handicapped, i have been. I've broke my back from a motorcycle wreck.. But I"m the owner here and there is a nice rock wall behide that picture.. I couldn't climb it with a pole in the middle of my way

Dude you have a 9' HID light, can you please post, I'm pretty sure it's going to take up the ENTIRE front end if it's 9'. Maybe 9" is what you are trying to say?

First off I'm a fan of all my typos.. I meant to say I know the owner here.. haha just turned 21 be crazy to own this place. but yes the one on Grand ave. Also i did mean 9 inches not 9 feet. 9 foot hid would be crazy!!!!!! The eblem is more for memory than anything.. it's off my first vechile a 89 f150 that man grandfather gave me. He gave me my ford love.. Also the handicapped parking place is not a parking lot anymore.. the business has moved to a new build and the new parking lot was made.

Would love to see one in person because I like the idea. I also think it is very cool you incorporated your grandfather's old truck emblem....nice touch!

I like it but I don't. Badass truck, but something seems odd to me. I have to think about it.

I'm not a huge fan of the pictures.. but it does look better in person and I'm sure the HID lights will add to it too. someone ask for a side picture.. here ya go.. Also the silver/white that is seen behide the grill is a hose crimp. thinkin some flat black paint can fix that.

Looks 10x better from that angle. And I agree, some flat black paint would take care of all the stuff behind it that's showing through.

If it were me though, I'd remove the Grillcraft emblem.

And move the Ford emblem to the right side. It would look better over there.

Love the color of your truck. The grille is a little to plain for me...

Or put the Ford oval centered at the bottom, or 'floating' in the middle. You need something to break up all that space. It would look badass if you could get someone to paint the screen with the entire Ford logo right on the mesh. Imagine the looks with it lit up with the lights.

It looks like a bbq grill, not a truck grill, but I actually like it. I have the same color, and I'd consider it, but leave the frame in black.

Grillecraft grilles are a ****ing rip off. They cost so much for not a lot of material. The 2nd pic looks good, if you move the ford logo over to the otherside.
