Looks great - nice work...I had the '05 Harley grille on my '05 black Screw and it looked good too. I feel your pain trying to keep a black Screw clean is a losing proposition....that's why my '09 Plat is silver....doesn't show the dirt nearly as much as my black '05 did.

I have the stock flint (light grey) seats and grey interior. HATE THE SEAT FABRIC!!! Stains way too easily.

I just bought some iggee seat covers from a member here to put in the truck, they are black with grey centers. I was going to go with newtakeoff stock leather seat covers but found these at less than half the price of the NTO leathers, and without the headache of caring for the leather.

I'll get pics of them posted when I get them in, maybe with another how-to thread.

Truck looks slick as always. Great job on this--very unique way of getting it done. Thanks for sharing.

Agreed.




Question about the license plates....
In SC we're not required to have front plates. If I'm visiting someone in a state that requires it do I have to put on a front plate or anything similar while I'm in the state?

I'd share more pics of my truck but I don't want to get involved with the TOTM contests until I consider it complete. Lots of work still to be done.

I don't think out of state vehicles whose states don't require front plates would have to worry about that, but I'm not for sure either. :o

Grille looks great!! Do you think the lower grille you removed could be modified to fit the '06 bumper?

Well, it could, but it's actually pretty fragile. It is a direct fit on an 04-05 though. It came with my Roush lower valance.

I like how it turned out man! Something that I love about little things like that you do yourself instead of following the pack and buying what's out there.

Great job!
