*confused*

Don't waste money WASHING your truck?

Don't waste money PAINTING your grille with a rattle can?

Don't waste money BUYING a particular make/model aftermarket grille?

What's the moral of this story?

Contextless threads allow you to draw your own conclusion.

Thats why I kept my stocker, Hate that its chrome tho.

I bought my grill like his off Ebay, No problems yet. and my chips (where hit by rocks, cause the plastic is dented where it hit) has not chipped any farther/worse.

I would do that but the plasti dip on my antenna is starting to come off from rubbing on tree limbs. I was thinking about useing the bed liner stuff you can get from auto parts stores, or see about getting my stock chrome one panited to match the truck.

If you werent in AK, I would offer you my black OEM grille that is factory painted. I got it off ebay brand new but I dont think it will ever make it on my truck unfortunatly. If you watch ebay, the painted ones do show up every now and again. I was really hoping for a red one, but I jumped on the black one immediatly.
