For all y'all that have a faded grill, give it a paint! Just get a plastic primer and then any spraypaint. I just tried it and it turned out very clean cut. I will post pics of it on the truck once it gets light out.

did you paint the surround or the grill or both?

 

Just the grill, I know the surround has mucho handprints (boy was the grill a PITA to get out of the surround). The surround is crome and I got a cromeish paint to go with it. I am getting a Ranch-Hand full bumper replacement for graduation so I think it should go well w/ the black.

yes i was one of the first around here to paint the grill, and document it. I definetly know its a pain to get the grill out of the surround. You start one side and the other side clicks back down

 

Oh god...don't remind me about that! It took me, my brother, AND my dad to figure out to use shim's and a billion flat screwdrivers to cram into the already popped ones (don't ask me why it took 3 people we are all = dumb) lol. I hope you don't feel that I ripped your idea, I just wanted to improve the look of the truck, the dull blue/gray was angering me.
