i say keep it! i want to get one.

 

Thanks. It is growing on me. Just need a few heads to turn to sell me on it. Like the fact that I have not seen one on the roads yet. I like to have something different.

 

i have not seen one on the roads around here at all1 saw one in SC.

 

John, you did that grill yourself? Looks good from here man.

 

Yep, my clear coat sucked. I have pulled it off and am re-painting and buffing. Gonna try and match the gloss better... will probably screw it up.

 

just take your time!! i do that. some say i take to long, but ether take to long on something and do it right the first time than mess it up.

 

we have got to get a meet together before summer ends guys

 

Yeah, I'd have to agree with Zach and say just take your time if you are re-doing it. If you're anything like me (and most other do-it-yourselfers) you're your worst critic. Most other people are going to tell you it looks awesome, and mean it.

When you cut out the center piece for the grill, did you fill in the gaps with fiberglass or what? Did you paint the black plastic inner lip of the grill to match the truck? Looks like maybe but kinda hard to tell.

 

what kinda meet? off road a little or just get some food. maybe meet some ones house and have a mod day?

 

wish my truck could swim. lol so i could wash it this weekend. it needs a bath really bad, bird shit all over it. guess it will have to wait till next week. i’m not washing in 100+

 

I will be washing mine. I neglected it last weekend and now it's just... gross. When it cools off a bit I plan on doing a clay and polish or wax. Anybody have brand recommendations for the clay or wax? Wax vs. polish (like Nu Finish)?

 

i think i use turtle wax. never have done a clay bar.

 

Anything really, we just need to get something together

 

I claybarred mine 2 weeks ago and it was slick as a babies bottom... I used the Meguiar's kit that I picked up from Walmart for like $18... And as far as wax, I'm a fan of zymol!

 

Thanks, that's the clay I'll go with then. I saw the Meguiar's and another (maybe Mother's?) at Walmart for close to the same price. They looked to be almost identical, but since I have your feedback on the Meguiar's that's all I need.

Nobody have any experience with Nu Finish polish? I've read a couple reviews and none of them seem to agree with eachother.

 

well going to ATL in the am with cousin. i think he is getting some truck for his business. i’m going to drive the vehicle that we drive down back. pay the tacoma or the kia idk.

 

Good luck man. Throw some pictures up once you get done and let us know how it goes... You won't regret it...

 

I gotta wait for this heat to die down man. It's almost 100 degrees at 10:30 in the morning. This is ridiculous.

 

x2, i washed my truck last night at 9:00. it was still like 95 degrees. INSANE

 

I used NU Finish and thought it sucked!!!!!!
