    Alright doll-face, c'mon and bore me!
    Up for sale is slotted steel grille. I have no idea who the manufacturer is. I bought my truck used and the dealer put this on before delivering it. Guess they thought I'd like it, but I thought this was too much testosterone for my pavement princess. Tenth inch steel with some really tough coating it. I've had it on for two years and it looks like new except for some rust staining around the mounting holes from the cheap hardware the dealer used. Three of the holes have some very light discoloration around them which I tried to show in the last photo. Other than that, it's perfect. The aluminum U-channel behind the lettering is held on with four screws and can be easily removed to paint whatever color you like. You could even do some sort of back-lighting if you want.

    Looks gray here, but trust me, it's black.

    The rust color around the hole is from the hardware. The discoloration I mentioned (if you kinda' squint and de-focus your eyes) is the whitish blob shape. It was real hard to photograph. It's barely noticeable, but my guess is, judging from how good the finish looks overall, that a little mild abrasive will take it off.

    Looks like similar grilles are going for around $300 new, so I'm asking $175 shipped or best offer. Will take PayPal.

    No hardware included. You wouldn't want what I took off. The dealer's shop used a variety of 1" and 1-1/2" plain-steel screws. I'll send you the locknuts though, they appear to be stainless.
