Installed a new front grille today...light bar in the grille isn't permanent, still undecided what I'm doing. Blinkers also need to be sealed better, they're full of moisture:(

you blacked out those cross bars for the core support! Nicely done. That is something that most people neglect with an open grille like that and it sticks out like a sore thumb

I'd love the punisher decal if it was silver or black or something. Just slightly more subtle. That's just me tho. Still a fan. Looks awesome.

I like everything in silver or black though so maybe thats not surprising.

Looks good. I like the grill. I sealed all my after market lenses with a bead of clear silicone. They ALL leak. Take the ones with moisture out and take as much of the moisture out that you can-rag, tissue etc, then hit them with a hair dryer. That'll get them nice n dry, especially those led parking lights. I cracked open a set of those, pulled those leds out and there was rust in there. Def don't need that. Since I ran the bead of silicone, no more issues. Forgot-- maybe run a thin bead on the bulb receptacles, where they screw into the back of the lenses, the aftermarket don't fit snug enough and they could still let moisture in.

Thanks, I color matched all the cross bars behind the grille to help blend everything in

I made the punisher decal myself and decided to paint it red for a little contrast. The whole murdered out look is cool and all but I don't want to look like every other car/truck on the road

I'm sure you can get a black or silver punisher online

Thanks, I bought some black silicone last night since I'm gonna need to seal the roof after removing the rack...I'll try and seal the perimeter of the lenses after I remove all the water. Did you remove the 2 breather hoses or just seal them up on yours?

I left the breathers in, figured it couldn't hurt. I took my rack off and just put the bolts back in the holes without silicone and it's been fine. Been off over a yr. Skip the silicone. The nuts for the rack are welded in, sort of.
