It's been a pain but I have 90% peeled off. Been debating on cutting the grill to use with my bumper.

@Tonyrodz has his OEM hood with HD grille if I remember correctly and he trimmed the bottom of the grilled to fit the bumper cap. He will likely chime in soon. I'm still trying to find his build thread and track down those pictures....ran out of patience going back thru the NBS 1500+ posts....lol

I also have a paintable bumper cap but non HD. Thought about trimming the HD grill and painting both. If I go to that extent might as well do the full bumper swap. Decisions......

Ok, what are we talking about guys? I had to trim the bottom of the HD grill to fit my OEM upper bumper cap. I don't remember exactly, but think I had to trim at least 1 to 1 1/2 inches off the bottom so it would fit. I also had to cut off one mounting peg behind the grill. If I remember, it didn't line up. Can't even tell. HD Hood is going on, probably in the spring. Any other questions feel free to give a shout.

Had to cut this peg to get it to fit. IMAG0259.jpgIMAG0266.jpg IMAG0249.jpgThese are the best pics I have of the process. Can you notice how much I trimmed off the lower part of the grill?

Super frustrating isn't it:banghead:

I mean I know he has a build thread but for the life of me I just can't find it

Ok, how about if I make one, but it won't be in order of mods done. Plus I don't have a pic of what I started with. That's why I'm really hesitant on making one. I'd want to do it in order.
