Cool Put the finishing touch on my billet!

I've been wondering since I put it in what my grille is lacking compared to all the others that look so damn good but are the same as mine, and then I realized: the Blue Oval.

So I installed her in little as 5 minutes. Took her off my old OEM H-style grille and applied some Scratch-X and then some PlastX to clear it up and then buffed her to a shine:






Better than \/ \/ \/ ???

Now I have to get a new chrome front bumper. I cant stand those holes!!!

Looks great!

I would say maybe get a white bumper.. IMO i think a chrome bumper would be too much chrome in one area. But of course its your truck. Just my .02

I say chrome the bumper but PTM the top plastic piece. Then again, the fact that it is white doesn't break up the chrome as much as a darker color. I plan on getting a full chrome grill/bezel shortly and I already have a chrome bumper, but my truck it a darker blue.

This is what I want (bottem one), but my turck is pretty similar to the Ford emblem blue. I also have a smoked bugsheild to help break it up a bit as well.

Well I thought PTM the front, but then again it wouldnt match my rear chrome one.

Can't see your pics, damn school computer. I'll have to wait until tonight to see what you are talking about.
