Looks pretty damn good there. Makes me want to do it to mine, especially since I know now how it'll look with my color truck.

Looks great... I'm a fan of white and chrome myself... I could not live without the emblem.

What did you use to secure the emblem to the grille? The tabs on mine wouldn't reach all the way to the back of my grille.

I couldn't fit mine on properly, so I glued it on a little with some left over black silicon sealant I had for the fog lamp painting project. I only did it enough so I can heat it up with a hair dryier and remove it in the future for when I paint it and add an overlay. But yes, I glued it a little, and its holding well.

Nice job! Looks good and it's something that is not exactly like everyone else has. I think it will look even better once the bumper is PTM though.

Looks good, still impressed as to how young you are and using so much technique and precision.

but IMO the emblem ruined it. Maybe if you did something like a black emblem with the wicked color red you have that would work well!

Whens wheels and tires??!

Thank you. Thats the direction I wanted to take it towards. It pretty much looks like a better FX2 grill, thicker bars, and a REAL sized emblem, not a dinky one. As for PTM, it will happen sooner or later, moneys a bit tight, but i'm so anxious to get it done

Thank you, I dont mess around, quality and clarity and precision matter quite much to me. I think it comes from the carpenter work I used to do with my dad. Remodeling rooms in the house and other houses and my enjoyment of auto paint detailing, its just struck me well . The emblems ( Grill and Tailgate ) will have overlays soon enough. They will be gloss black and dark red to match. The blue being black and chrome being dark red of coarse. I just need to get up to Patriots site and make the order. Hopefully it wont be too much.

Hey that looks good man! I was wondering where did you get your paint for your grill surround? And also where the steps the same as painting your Roush? How is that paint holding up? Thanks for the help!

My grill surround was PTM factory. I actually got 1 chip in the grill, it had to have been from debris from another motorist because I have washed and pressure washed it and it has not chipped anywhere else. I do kinda wish I used an even more aggressive sand paper now, but this can be touched up simply.

I don't think it would have mattered what grit sand paper you use. Rocks from other vehicles will always chip paint... Other than that, the grill looks fantastic and I mean outstanding. You have done a great job...
