Holy **** that stuff is sharp!!! I tore up my hands pretty good doing this tonight. I kept the plastic insert because i have the chrome front end. Dont think it looks too bad. Have to finish it up tomorrow though >_<. Grill needs cleaned, put back on, hood latch rigged up, and headlight bug reflectors removed.

i did this too a month ago. i had to drill holes like on the lip of the grill so i could connect it to something with zip ties, but i used black zip ties to match my truck, and you cant see them in less you are close to it and are looking for them, and i pretty much did the same hood latch as batman and it works great but i'm goin to paint the coat hanger black so it matches my truck.
