oh yeah, it looks alot better with the street tires on... its gonna look good with your new rims. kudos on the monster sticker... i MADE this one for my truck, but after i lowered it i took it off to get a more "clean" look, then i went with the stripes.

i wasnt sponsored, but i used to race motocross too, hence the sticker. AT any rate... painting your grill is easy. sand off the chrome finish, clean up the plastic as much as possible. then primer, sand, primer, sand... then throw on a coat of paint, wet sand it, then paint it again. then wet sand it again. after that you should be good, but i went the extra mile and buffed on some rubbing compound, then polishing compound, then wax. it'll take you a whole day to do it, but its worth it in the end. soon im gonna shave the ram off the front of the grill and smooth it over.
