    Most people grab high heat black spray paint and have at it, and they move the horns to an area behind the battery that already has two perfect screw holes for the horns.

    hoping to install my grillcraft today, just a little nervous about cutting out the center of the existing grill.

    don't be scare just man up and do it...if your installing the grillcraft like how it was meant you won't have a problem and its hard to see the cut out areas as long as you black out the a/c condenser...you can always go back lay down some fiberglass or ABS plastic (plastic weld, sand, and paint) that way it looks better...if you do the satoshi mod filling in the gaps, sanding, bondo, and paint are a must anyway...

    good luck and just take your time...no sense in rushing a mod or any mod for that matter...

    It's just a bolt on one, it just goes in front of the factory grille.

    hey guys, curious to know, when you black-out the radiator with black paint, doesent that effect the effectiveness of the radiator itself? I didnt do it because putting a coat of paint over it seems like it would.

    ^what you see from the front of the truck is the a/c condenser not the radiator...the radiator sits behind the a/c condenser and in front of the clutch fan....

    nope had mines like this for a couple of years...and haven't had 1 problem at all...:D

    Dude, I know alot of people say this but, if I can do it, anybody can do it. I have to be one of the sloppiest people and mine turned out well.

    It is very easy to do, and rewarding once it is finished.
