Glad you mode it over here to the army! And while I agree it woud look better on a black truck I think the idea is badass for sure! And it's very unique compared to the hundred of billet grills

Gotta give you an "A" for originality. I guess I am a little different. I like white trucks with black grills. Ya ever thought about losing the bug shied, and finding a way to paint the chrome trim that does around the grill black? Just a thought. Might look like sh!t, but who knows? But again, I will give you an "A" for being original. I have always lie the Raptor grills, but truthfully speaking. It never crossed my mind to try to put one on a F250. Good job.

That's actually pretty cool. I like when people see something in their head and just go for it. I'd like to see it on an all black frond end. I wonder if it could work on an 05-07 grill somehow too?

Id like to see it in the 05-07 grill ans I agree that it would look good painted white with ford in tan to bring it all together

Btw why are your mirrors extended. Did you really wana buy a dodge all along? LOL
