I hope u don't make your grill like that blue truck. Looks like it's missing its grill/front end.. your front end now looks 1000000% better then that blue truck.

Maybe if he goes a little thicker on the guage of the mesh it wouldn't look so transparent.
Not a fan of the led bar, but I respect anything that's custom fabricated, and give more respect for someone with the balls to hack a hd grille lol

Without the led bar for a different visual

What paint did you use for the engine pieces ? high temp ?
Also maybe paint the fuse box cover to even it out.
and I'm diggin the green and gold theme , hopefully more gold in the future :rolleyes:
Not planning much more gold, if any for the future... And the paint was some that I had sitting around from when I sprayed the calipers. Still undecided what I want to do with the engine bay aside from a nice little snail sitting in there...

The visions I have in my head could be compared to sugar plum fairies dancing like they're at a rave with a DJ playing a Skrillex version of Metallica's Fade to Black on a glass stage built to hold 2 great white sharks trained to give high fives as Harambe weeps a single tear of joy and a Bald Eagle flies over carrying ol' red, white and blue in it's titanium talons.

Or it could be a complete flop. One of the two outcomes is very possible.

^^x2 Just IMHO, I think what you have going on needs no altering. It looks super tight as it is. Hood change could be good the HD front clip, but not really liking the big bass mouth mesh. I appreciate the custom effort for sure. Just my .02. :)

I like it.

I think it only works if you're pretty low, 22's or 24's and an overall street/performance truck theme. However, my thought has always been if you're gunna have a mesh grille you need something to look at behind it like a huge tranny cooler, intercooler, or a chrome/raw finish radiator with the brand painted on it or something like that.

Then again I have a billet grille and most think that fad ended when George Bush's presidency did.

You did mention a snail… Mesh grill would look pretty cool with a large intercooler behind it.
