Painting grill surround tomorrow. Paint the Cs or leave the chrome. Oponions needed.

looks good man.

btw I paid 175.

and I used push pins from oreilly's

And a body shop that does full up restorations on classics did the grill on my truck. But I got a PTM grill they wouldn't guarantee the chrome one lasting that was when they would only give me a 4 year warranty.

Well crap. 260 was the cheapest I found. O well im happy

Looks great! Post some more pics...from the side would be awesome!

Here some more. I think these trucks should come like this from the factory. But once I get some 35s and one day paint my bumpers to match I think this truck will look perfect.

best thing i ever did was paint match everything just like you did, makes a world of difference nice job

Looks really good IMO!!!

Interested in how they painted the chrome, vs you having to buy an already painted surround.

Personally, I'd leave the C's chrome unless I was doing the whole grill. Dustin's truck is perfect, just needs black SOTAs IMHO. I have a pic somewhere if he doesn't mind my posting it.

Ya I may one day do that If I got my bumpers ptm but right now I just like the clean look of the two horizontal chrome bars. Im just not a fan of chrome.

[Hookem]

im with you im not sure exactly what to do, im thinking about going to a completely different front grill or paint matching everything. The huge ford emblem is eh, in my book LOL

 

[colecoop56]

Thanks man im really happy. Ya some aftermarket look good but you just have to be careful. Thing look cheesey quick. I still think I will paint everything to match in the end. Its just so clean

The stock with the painted outside looks the best IMO.

6.7's look so much better with the surround painted.
