    Well I was going to attach the metal today but found a couple spots where it looked like the paint had run a little. Not noticeable really because it was on the upper recession portion but I took it back to the body shop and they are going to try and get around to fixing it today.

    I'm hoping to have it completed by this weekend.

    A few bolts are different.
    if your looking for an economical solution to that I think it would be called a "spotter"

    I don't think it looks that bad. I definitely didn't like it when it didn't have the metal insert. It's really obvious that my lights need to come up a little to be centered, so I think that will be the next thing I fix. I think it's ok with the eyelids I have but would probably look better with some angry eyelids.

    Looks great! You should post some more pics of your truck, I ordered the Duratracs and I'm curious to see how they look on your truck...

    Edit: Found some in your build thread. The more I look at those Duratracs, I'm not so sure I like the way the
    thread patterns looks.

    Where'd you get the grill material from? I saw it on an fj and forgot to ask.

    Grill looks good! Originality is always cool in my book! Not many things that haven't been done before to our trucks. :)
