Raptor's Billet Grille Installed! (Now We Have Pics!!!)

Haha, just got done and it's 7:00 EST here in Fla, so I'll get some pics tomorrow after I was it and get all the fingerprints outta the chrome! I'm so glad its finally in! I was right after all, all I had to do was trim the 4 vertical support bars. Get your excitement built! Be sure to check on here tomorrow after 10am EST!

My truck is kinda dirty, wanted to give it a wash first, but here you go!

Clean Stull Billet grille & Stull Lower Bumper Insert!

Here's a "Before" when my dad owned it and I didn't have my license yet:



And now an "After" shot, the most recent of all pictures!:

That's it! Lemme kno what you think, I'll be back later when I get back from work (with more pics!)

I think I'm going to mount my foglights later, it would be a waste of $70 if I let them collect dust in the garage.

looks good, but that little clean section from where the plate cover use to be is really annoying...

Yeah, it is clean, but the Florida sun baked it! Don't worry about it guys, I'll be getting it painted matching white soon enough!

Do it do it! It'll look 100X better.

Then you need to either clean your heads or buy some new ones.

Engine bay looks nice for an older truck.

Pleez.......DO NOT put those ugly fogs back on!!!! consider it a loss and buy some nice piaa's for behind the grille. they make your front end look so cheap that with the new chrome you dont want it to look like you just threw some cheapies on there

But....theyre Hella's dude, the best in the aftermarket lighting biz! (IMO)

For now, I'm going to get a day off and put them on. Not only do I need them for these dark Florida back roads at night, they were $70!!!

I'll tell ya what. Take $70 out of your wallet, and tear it up and burn the scraps and I'll keep them off

Or, if you guys can detail to me how to get that plastic skid-plate underneath the bumper off so I can fabricate my own frame and mount them behind my lower grille, that would be great!

So, I won't be on for a few more hours today. It's my day off, its 70 sunny degrees out, and not a cloud in the sky! Perfect to wash, wax, and detail for some new pics (especially for my sig).

its just held on by little plastic clip things. they usually break when you take them off
