I realy like the mods to your truck. Hood scoop is very nice, Grill, i'm going to steal that idea! I think I will try painting the grill black if that doesnt work out I will repaint silver. When you installed the lights behind the grill did you wire them into the exsisting (stock) running lights in the bumper? I see so many changes that you've done to your truck I admire it immensely

Thanks a ton man! Every thing I have done was done by someone else on here first. This place can have quite an influence on you if your not careful..lol...the lights behind the grill are wired into their own switch. I wanted to be able to have them come on and off when I wanted them to, not just when I have the low beams on. Those lights have fog and driving bulbs in them and a two way switch (fog/driving). I think your truck would look better with a black grill if your going with a body color grill surround.

Has yours started to sag ever so slightly in the middle on hot days. I am wishing I would have epoxed something to the bottom of center to stiffen the plastic. Hate to have to remove that thing and not cutting my hood.. ;-)

no sagging, if it does, I will drill a small hole and fill it with foam until I cut a hole and brace it from below.
