    Yep,

    Instead of using the facotory drop mount I purgachased angle Irons and threaded through them and then attached them to the light bar. It raises them approx 3/4 to 1".

    Use this stuff from eastwood. http://www.eastwood.com/ew-radiator-black-12oz-satin-finish.html

    I have used it before and works well. I tried every auto parts store and nobody had anything in stock that I would use. Actually just got mine in the mail today for my truck. Just installed my grill last week and going to spray the radiator tomorrow. Will post pics tomorrow. Without the paint it looks great. With it should make my hand sore.

    Nice, thanks for the advice. Didn't think about the paint blocking the airflow. Wonder if they will have anything comparable at an auto parts store.

    I went to pep boys, autozone, kragen and 2 local auto parts stores and they had nothing. The guys at prep boys suggested I use regular paint and said don't worry about it it. That's why I don't shop there for anything but car wash. I am sure most places can special order though.

    I will give a local spot a go. Should have thought about this earlier. Just have to wait a few to put the grille on I guess, no big deal.

    Looking forward to seeing your pics DJ.

    I just finished painting it. It took almost a half can to cover in about 3 light coats with some touch up here and there. Cell phone pic is crap and looks better in person. I bought 2 cans, oops. Extra for another I guess. When it's dry I will put it together and snap some shots with my real camera

    I found a thread where someone was putting in a satoshi and moved the horns. Somewhere by the battery. Said there were holes already there.

    What did you do with youts? Drill?

    You are welcome bud. Would be one hell of a road trip for a beer. I appreciate the offer. I forgot to pull the camera out during the day to get some shots. Will do tomorrow.
