    1 x 24in Double Row lightbar (Spot)
    2 x 6in Double Row lightbar (Fog)
    Custom Grille
    3 x accent led's (love the raptor grille)

    I am thinking about trying my hand at building my own custom grille and this is the route I am considering.

    Yes I "shopped" it.;)

    Looks good... First thought in my mind is that the big light bar needs to be centered or there needs to be one top and bottom :notsure: Just first thing that came to mind.

    I don't really like the two small bars in the lower grille, but I actually do like the "Raptor" lights; they look pretty mean.

    I just think it looks a little busy with those 2 smaller bars.
