Home Depot Mesh = $8
Spraypaint = $3
Agressive Look = Priceless

[Not installed yet, if it looks funny in some spots. I just put the pieces there to see what it'd look like. Will do install tomorrow]

Yeah, I have no idea what possessed them to make chrome caps for the foglights and leave everything else plastic. Stupid Ford.

My rear is a chrome bumper cauze you can tow with it I guess. At least the thing on the back says I can tow like 350lbs directly and a 3500lb trailer. I'm not about to try it.

Pimento: in Those pics it wasn't attached, right now though it's zip tied on (i painted the zip ties to match), but i might need to think of a better way to do it, cuz i think mounting brackets look like **** on grilles. I'll hafta look in the mornin and see if i can live with the zip ties. They look fine from far away, buy i hafta look and see how bad they look close up. If you've got some pics of where u wanna put it (or the front of the car) show em to me and i'll try to figure somethin out.

Leather: I'm sure you also paid some good money for that grille...mine was hmm...lets think...FREE
