    I know, its all good man, i had a great laugh after that haha. I did get her PM :cool: The billet does look good, with as many different types you make id say make a raptor with all matching mesh and just swap out raptor and mesh with the billet stuff for a couple months at a time...

    I can't see having more than one grill at a time though... I'll rock this billet one until I decide to do another custom one. I like having something different.:cool:

    Haha I am touching up my vent cover right now. You guys have problems with it running on you? Seems like my process is spray, sand down high spots, spray. I primed everything but holy smokes. This things a pain. I did find out you can get it off by itself though if you have your stereo out.

    It can be a pain in the ass, just take is slow and do light coats to build it up to prevent overspray or having it run. I had to take out the dash kit for my head unit, and then remove the unit from the bracket but left it hooked up and wiggled it through the vent piece so I could get it out by itself. Then just pop off the vents and tape off and paint what you want.

    Yeah man, the whole center piece where the vents are, look on the backside of the vents and there are 4 clips on each vent that hold them in. At least that's how it is on my '08

    Yeah that's the piece. Pulled them off but my tape didnt seal very well so I have pretty jacked vents. Haha might go ventless for a bit til I get it dialed in.

    Oh wow...um...if it go into the vents maybe soak them in some brake fluid for an hour or so and rinse them off. I've heard of soaking parts in brake fluid to lift paint off, just not sure how well it works for plastics because thinner can cause the plastic to bubble if left on too long
