    I just put a TV and a DirecTV receiver down there. I have seen EVERY Red Sox loss this year to the bitter end.

    well good news, I really like the grill and it was done really well

    but bad news, the epoxy on the driver side triangle came loose :(

    [​IMG]

    Are you talking about the tabs on the DS triangle? If so, I would heat up my soldering iron and melt the tab down.

    Crap the 3 air bags were too much guess Ill have to stick with bubble wrap only, You can get a small epoxy from HD or lowe's self mixing when it comes out the tube or the soldering iron and melt the tab. You can also send it back and I will fix it. Sorry this happened, Jim

    oh its ok man, this kinda stuff happens, I will try fixing it and if it comes loose again I will send it to you. another thing I noticed is that the aftermarket halos on my truck seem to make the grill fit a lil tight, I dont know if the mounts are different from the oem headlights but I will look more into it. Thank you for the grill even with this lil issue it is still great work!

    I had this same issue with TacoMe's custom grille eight months ago. The 2nd month owning it, the triangle mounts gave out. I re-mounted it with my own system, and it sits in there better than before. Other than that, these are great grilles at very reasonable prices. Bump :D

    FWIW, the grills that I was getting 8 months ago came pre-assembled. The ones that I get now come in two pieces and have to be plastic-welded together. I very much prefer these as they feel much more solid than the older ones. Also, if there are any problems with any grill I make, EVER, I'd be more than happy to fix it free of charge (sans shipping).

    You can't see the driver side is loose from that angle seeing how it is only separated from the grill by maybe 1/2 an inch, I didn't notice it when I first got it. When I went to put it on is when I noticed it was separated.

    Here are some pics of a grill that I just completed for pehiggins01.

    Also - I'm glad to announce that I've found a painter and am now offering COLOR-MATCHING for the following prices:

    All non-pearl colors: $100
    Pearl-colors: $150

    As anybody that makes these can attest, finding a painter who will even bother with such a small job is difficult (I was laughed off by a few before I found a friend-of-a-friend).

    Happy Monday!
