Ha, probably a 99-03 grill guard. Doesn't have the indentations for the 97-98 bumper.

Yea its actually a custom grill guard that came off a buddy's E350 diesel van it looks good though maybe just because of the angle of the picture. Here's a picture from straight on.

Well it already has Flowmaster 44's catback on it and the tires are like brand new so I figure I'll wait till they are ready to be replaced. I have some things I'm doing to it as we speak I will post pics as I get them done but seriously any advice or ideas is appreciated so keep em coming and I will post up as I get things done.
