    Couldn't have said it any better! Cops have a bad reputation with a lot of the public because they harass so many people over victimless and insignificant crimes. Cannabis prohibition just by itself is a great example that makes criminals out of millions who would otherwise be law abiding citizens, and creates bad relations between the public and the police.

    Most of the time these victimless non-violent crimes are prosecuted to generate revenue for the police department, at the expense of ruining someones life/family, more than actually trying to keep the public safe. Why else would the U.S. have 5% of the worlds population but 25% of the world prison population?

    Here is another little statistical fact; From 1980 to 2008, the number of people incarcerated in the U.S. quadrupled-from roughly 500,000 to 2.3 million people. And the police wonder why they currently have a public relations problem. Let's stop running our police departments like a private business focused on being profitable.

    Nice grill Jordan. :thumbsup:

    So what if some people don't like you lights? It's your truck. Do what make you happy. :D

    Some people probably hate my lights too. That just makes me want to add more and take even more pictures. :rofl:

    Grill looks awesome! I'm looking into getting a BP Fabricating grill. Just got to save up those paychecks. How long did it take to arrive after ordering?

    Thanks bud. It was probably just shy of 2 weeks but I ordered it right before Christmas. So I'm sure it would be quicker normally.

    That's why I didn't really want to go with Amber. I like the raptor style but I wanted it to be a little different.

    The only thing missing from your setup is Honda Civic badges to go with those LEDs, other then that grille looks great

    You did the installation yourself? Have heard it can be extremely difficult and time consuming and have also been told it's really not all that bad..might consider picking up a grill from these guys.

    I didnt think it was too bad. It was my first grille install and as long as you follow their online directions it goes pretty easy.

    All that matters is if you like it. After all it is YOUR truck. Who gives a shit if others don't like them. I would worry about a cop having a bad day and getting on you for it but I feel like most of the time they would be chill.

    Here in California my bumper is illegal because if somebody hit me it would destroy their car but I've never been pulled over for it. I'm sure most people with off-road parts here haven't been pulled over for them as well.

    Ya for sure man! I talked to my LEO friend about it yesterday. He pretty much just said 99% of cops wont do anything since they're not flashing. But if a cop is having a bad day and pulls me over for something like speeding, that he might tack that on as well. But that is INSANE about the bumpers. Half the people in Texas would have illegal bumpers too!
