    Hey guys thanxs for the comments.. As far as the grill goes im not sure the part number, they did not have one for 12's yet and used my truck to design it. All I did was leave my truck there and they told me to pick which design I wanted. I chose the black mesh with out studs, and matching bumper grill insert. Ill pick the hood insert up after this weekend. The headlights are not hard just VERY time consuming if you want them done right. I sprayed my bezels with krylon fusion (black gloss) and Pre burned them right after at 275 for 5 minutes. Then left them in the oven for 5 hours at 170 to cure better and faster. Some people reading this might not agree or have different opinons on curing items or painting in general. Ive worked for two autobody shops, and for that company APC which made all the euro tail lights bulbs etc. While there I worked in paint/fiberglass/ department building all there show cars EVERY CAR PICTURED ON THERE PRODUCT CASES AND CARS AT SEMA. Id say I have a decent back ground in this area. Anyone getting a grill Id recommend the horn mod, it was super easy and made a huge difference. H.I.D.'s and all bulbs will be getting replaced xmas time. Hopefully some tint and a flesh bed cover to.

    I spoke to the mgr. At trex. He told me I could setup a group buy on their grills. Preliminary number is at about $300 minimum. And you could get the one he has without the bezel. Let me know if interested and maybe I can get more definite numbers...discount..etc.
    Available for older years as well.
