paintin grille+insert add lights

well guys i took the lights off the roll bar that used to be in my bed and was looking for a place to mount them yesterday ended up taking off the bumper and grille/insert *Btw there are 2 bolts per side behide the marker lights *

well in the prosess of having everything off i desided to diegrind the chrome off the grille insert and got some gloss spray paint. after an hour and a half of grinding all the chrome off painted it and let it sit looks nice so far gonna go over with another coat soon.

As for the lights still trying to deside in the grille in the bumper or under the bumper. what do you guys think??

Also i know its a lil illgeal but ive been drivin around with my bumperless F-150 heres a pic.
