    just ask for the perforated ss. Ask him to cut it like the sathoshi grill. he will know what your talking about. I like it because no one really has it, especially where i'm at.

    Color matched and satoshi grille, hella 500ff behind, bhlm, sockmonkey bedsides, 17" sports 265/70 grabber at2's.
    i have a question and i apologize if im hijacking or changing the subject. im new to the forum and this seemed like the right thread to ask the question. Im going to get a grillcraft grill most likely. But my question is, my stock grill surround is chrome. I want it black as my truck is black. Whats my best option for making it black? Like a DIY way of doing it. If thats even possible. Was thinking of scuffing it up and painting it but wasnt sure if that would work.

    So this thread is two years old today.
    The OP's last post was two years ago tomorrow.
    Anyone know what grill he ended up with?

    Have looked in on this thread a few times, but never posted.
    Guess I won't bother votin' now.
    But I'll post my grill
    A little late, huh?

    Meshed Upper, Lower and Triangles.
    Scoop to be done when time allows.
    Maybe Hella 500 Black Magics behind grill this summer

    its wire netting. i did 4 layers of it to give it a deeper stronger feel.

    its good and strong, and was tough a bit to mold to the perfect shape, but i had fiberglass help hold it onto the back side of the grill.
