    Hydrodipping is pretty neat technology, and it looks like they did a good job technically on your grille. It looks a little odd, though I gotta say. But as my dad would have said, "That's why they have horse races -- everyone has a different favorite."

    You should’ve left the surround color matched and only done the middle of the grille. Too late now though, I guess you’ll have to do the entire truck now.

    If you got all the chrome badges and things dipped to match, it might look ok.

    Just that 1 piece looks out of place. :spy:

    It’s a cool concept just the wrong color choice I think. If you like it then who cares if you decide not you can always try again.

    I don't hate it. And it is undeniably festive.

    What's the rest of the plan?
