Yeah I put a few coats of clear on it

 

Amazing how something so cheap to buy can look so cool (Gutta).

 

My grill has the black tabs securing the grill to the support. How do I remove those w/o breaking the support holes? Plus, what do I use to replace the black plastic tabs?

 

I can't remember exactly what they look like or what I did, but if I remember right I just snipped them off or cut them. All I used to re-attach it was cable ties. Cheap and looks a little tacky on the inside but you can't even tell from the outside. Here is a recent picture of the front end.

 

thats a sharp looking truck man. I've got the gutta mesh grill on mine too, I like the look. I painted mine black though.

 

Wow...that's in really good shape for a 2002. Nice truck man!

 

Thanks guys, yeah that was right after a wax and is inside so its really shiny. Unfortunately she's beginning to rust above the rear wheels. Damn salt

 

Here's a picture of how I attached it. I also added a few cable mounts to make sure it was secured tight up against the front all the way around.

 

Awesome job

 

Maybe time for some POR and fender flares???!!??

Truck looks great!!
