    Omg, thank you Lisa.

    I have exactly the same truck as you, so i wondered how it would look. I've also got clear headlights/Corners. I like the look.

    I wonder how it would look with a black grill surround, and (natural white?) emblem chillin in the center of the homertaco mod.

    Also, did you leave the little yellow rubber grommet doohickeys on your hood? I've debated taking off my hood protector, but i just dont want to look at piss-yellow colored rubber bits on the hood

    :cool: there are a few more pics of the grill in my gallery. i reluctantly left everything chrome (time crunch at install time) with the intention to paint it come spring but the chrome is sort of growing on me so I might leave it as is.

    and i didn't have any rubber doo hickeys :notsure:

    Sorry... I'm finishing my 95-97 grill and once that is done I doubt I'll build any more grills from 95-00. The plastic and I do not get along...
    I'll have more on the 01-04 grills soon though.:eek:
