Default flames

now if u could some LEDS and stuff to light it up...make it look like real flames coming out of a fire pit, like moving and all, that would sweet to see, especially at night. Pulling up behind someone and flip that baby on, I could just imagine how bad they would be freaking out.....just an idea and all....

Competition BBQ is where 40 or 50 teams cook and turn in food to be judged in 4 different categories. I also have a BBQ catering business, so it does tie in with the business as well. With that being said, I was unsure when it was given to me because of the color. I want the connection with the business but I don't wanna make the truck look ugly either, do yall think it would look better in a metallic silver? it is bloted in place so it comes out easily, not an issue to repaint it......

actually I did install 2 amber marker lights on the inside of the grille with a toggle switch, I haven't seen it at night yet, LOL we will see. I am still on the fence with the whole thing, but it is starting to grow on me

i don't really like it, it kinda has a tacky look to be honest, maybe if you could redo it and make it look more realistic then it might work. just my honest 2 cents.

It did not affect the temperature at all. And thanks Montana, I was looking for some opinions of the masses!! Still trying to decide, it does look a lil better in person

Yeah, I'm not really diggin it, but I'm not into putting flames on cars or trucks it's just so overdone you can buy ready made stickers nowdays. Some sharks teeth would look kinda cool though, maybe with some angeleye headlights...

Not really into it. Any way to just put it on during a competition? I wouldn't put any solid metal in front of my radiator.

I could make those flames look sick with a plasma cam

Ummmmmmmmm..........................Interesting for sure.

I don't really like it to be honest.
No offense but I thought it was made out of cardboard at first.

I'm not really a flames guy myself though. However, I do like some good ghost flames.

I'm surprised the truck isn't running any hotter.

P.S. I would LOVE to see a picture of it with the amber lights you were talking about switched on at night.
