You can see the door handle pull flap I guess you can call it laying in the middle of the mess under the ford emblems,

Jordan could you give me some insight about how you mounted the lights behind the bars on the grille, I really Like that look!

Screw the truck...is that your house? LOL

Yes..I just happen to know a real good contractor, and I hear he likes powerstrokeArmy, cool diesel trucks, muscle cars, and fast boats as hobbies..lol.

on the serious side..lol. The grill and tailgate was not hard to paint..cost was about 450.00 and turned out awesome. The only tough part was the taping of the 2 part Platinum tailgate cause I left the center section in chrome. The 2 piece pinstripe masked the slight bleed through...just my way of doing it, I'm certain it could be done other ways. If you double tap that pic you might be able to see this. I know the painter mentioned if it were painted solid it would have been cheaper and easier. Like most said if you wrap.. it wont be perfect in color or in my case in Tuxedo Black it wouldn't have that multi colored metallic in it.

When you got the pieces painted, was the painter able to match the metallic of the factory paint or is it just close?
