I have been a body man for 5 years now, yet there was still a lot of head scratching and "going for it" moments.

That turned out really good! What are you going to use for grilles? I have been trying to find some honeycomb plastic to match the factory stuff but haven't had any luck.

I work at a body shop and have been waiting for a spare grill out of a car i can cut up. I just picked one up out of like a 2002 dodge truck. its the exact same honeycomb pattern! so ill start on that sometime

Haha and that is kinda the reason i wanted to tackle this, been out off a shop for over a year now, having withdrawels.

Might not be the smartest choice though.

Looks awesome!! Just a little more aggressive than factory, which is perfect.

I think it looks great without a grille, but wouldn't mind seeing it with one.

Looks sick!!

Not sure how I feel about the grills though. I think it would look better with the mesh holes being closer to stock size.

NOPE! in pictures it looks awesome but in person you can always see the background and ruins the look of the scoop almost. maybe if the car wasn't black.

Looks awesome I might try this one day when I get the courage, I think it would look NASTY with stripes comes down in a subtle color, like a dark silver.
