No, I didn't have to cut anything. It's a whole new grill with surround to.

 

The grill was the first thing I changed on my 2010 XLT Screw.

 

I like the mesh grills BUT they look like junk in direct sunlight. They're pretty much see-through. No offense to anybody running one, that's just my personal opinion.

 

thats what ive been afraid of when looking at the mesh ones, is being able to see to much through it. You can get tighter mesh from e-auto, 4.0mm, 3.5mm, 2.0mm

 

Mines a black mx series mesh from grill craft. Trim out factory grill then bolt on. Under $200.

 

Billets are the same. Mine can barely be seen through. It black behind black so nothing stands out.

 

Looks real good man! I actually think you can see more backround on the horizontal billets! What is the mm spacing on your mesh? Can we see a close up, preferably one of the corners with the trim showing too! I might throw some lights behind it!

 

Carriage Works upper/lower grills...

 

damn nice my friend

 

best one I've seen! That sir is bada##!
