Could you give me a link to that grill please? I've gone through like 5 pages and can't find one.

What did you use on the chrome portion of the front bumper? I had six coats of Plasti-Dip on both front and back. I pealed it off yesterday because it wasn't holding up.

This one is pricy but it's not one of those cheap overlays. http://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-F150-F2...QkbGJg&vxp=mtr

Prep prep prep! Plasti dip is worthless without an hr of q-tips and mineral spirits. This pic was the reassembled bumper, I did it in pieces, took my time, first respray after 3 years. No issues.

Did mine in pieces as well. I washed it good but didn't use the mineral spirits. I'll try it again, just the front though. The back was too much.

She was feeling pretty today and I saw an open field.

I didn't have a chrome bumper, mine was red. I used some kind of rust stop black rubberized paint. Pretty much the same as plastidip, feels the same just doesn't peel. I didn't NO prep work. Took it through the car wash, waited for it to dry, taped and sprayed. I did a single coat. I've had a few chips from rocks and what not and i go through every once in a while and spray those spots again. The only complaint I have is that it faded pretty quick.

An experiment gone wrong. It looks pretty cool in person but I don't like it. I'm getting some newer ones anyway.

My 99 150 i recently put a edge programmer in it and am averaging 20-25 mp! I also swapped in some hid with black headlights with clear lenses. I would like to put a halo in them but I have the faintest idea where to get them. I found some 5.4 triton emblems that look like the newer diesel badges and I went ahead and picked thoes up. Tell me what you think!
