Custom front grill

Hey guys and gals, Im currently in the process of changing my truck around (arent we all) and i was wondering if anyone has done a custom front end
i remember a guy swapped his headlights with a bmw X5

i took a pix of my bare front end and then some photo edits , if anyone has ideas please suggest and if you can photoshop feel free to do so :p

thanks

Tbh, I don't like either of those. Looks tacky adding a modern front end/copying one and putting it on a ford.

Why not just mod the stock grill and add projector head lamps?

But that's just my 2 cents.
 












yea i just dont like the look that everyone has, i want to be different, yes different isnt always better i get that but i just dont like the look,

ive seen that thread about the 50s delivery van conversion, wish they woulda kept going , something i do want to do is fill the sides in like such

time and tools are there , talent i like to believe so , ive done all my own body work and painted my truck myself, ive also worked with fiberglass in the past so its always an option to just go nuts but i just need some ideas and suggestions, it was my dads idea to just slap a range rover grill in there lol
 












hey so im prolly gonna go with these with a projector beam in there , also courtesy of land rover ;)

unfortunately it is snowing and too cold to do custom work outside and i am waiting for one of these trucks to roll though my junkyard because 800$ for a pair of these seems foolish when the truck they come on goes $600 in scrap metal,
also what i thought was cool was the fiber werks front end conversion
