Billet Grille install pics, winter pics, lots of pics!

ok, over the weekend i got the grille installed, and here is some pics of that day.

First: Josh (feb issue MM&FF #10 Lightning Shootout) cleaning tools after a 4.10 gear install on his cobra.



Second: we pull the truck in and remove the existing grille

OOOOOO very nice I was thinking of that one myself or the Trenz, but everytime I see a trenz picture here or somewhere else, it looks as if the bars are uneven. I'm not sure if thats camera work/angle but I wouldnt want uneven bars.

Was the install hard or pretty straight forward?

it's there, just bad lighting..... the bottom matches the top, i'll get a better one when it's nice out, and the truck is washed.

toughest part of install was the rivits, luckily josh had all the right tools, with the both of us it only took a little over an hour. just take everything off the front, (it comes with directions) and on the lower grille there is like 6-8 screws that you remove, and use 4 of the old ones to bolt on the billet gille, pretty easy.
