    Ok, who’s going to be honest.
    What is your first thought when you see this picture.

    Shamefully, mine was “Dump and Run”.


    I know, I know, something’s wrong with me. :rofl:

    Thankful, I know @PennSilverTaco has a big dog.
    And the chances are, I can’t out run it.

    Yes, I got another vanity plate; I was introduced to Meat Loaf by my dad about twenty years ago, and I have been a huge fan ever since!

    @HomerTaco

    I do not think I will be doing the "Zombie Truck" again next year, at least not to the extent that I did it this year. The pictures below are just one reason; I managed to remove a whole chunk of paint from my custom $650 Toywerx grille with a peel-and-stick blood splatter, and while I'm pretty sure I can fix this on the cheap, I do not want to deal with this shit every year. I'm thinking about getting just the grille wrapped in the factory color...

    Maybe a heat gun to help peel stickers off?

    How do you recommend I fix? Get the whole thing repainted or have it wrapped in the factory color?

    Both will work. Which ever is less expensive is what I’d go with.

    I'm just glad I didn't melt the grille like last time. You build an excellent product, and if I hit a deer or something my insurance covers up to $5,000 in aftermarket mods, and I will be going back to you for another grille if need be...

    Also, what type of adhesive do I need to to fix the spot where it separated?
