2005 ford explorer V6.
After paying 4000 in a recent auto endeavor, decided buying a new grill wasnt a good choice. So i decided to spray paint the stock one. Sanded it, primed it, painted and sealed it. It came out good. Still trying to decide weather i should buy or keep? So far i have this, HID lights, and a intake. Waiting on my spacers and UCA's to put the 33's on there.

In my opinion it looks pretty good and definitely a good way to save some money. but, I prefer the billet grille myself over the stock one. Was that the one you were looking at getting?
 






Yeah the billet one was the one i saw on ebay. I just didnt have the spare cash after having both cylinder heads replaced and what not. For 10 dollars(2 cans of paint/primer. its not half bad. Came out better than i expected.. Still would want a billet one though.
 






looks great.... fancy outside stuff is $$ kept from keeping you on the road rolling. Subtle and tasteful VISUAL mods always keep others guessing "what did he do? Damn that looks good, but what is it?"

Those are the mods I am most impressed with.

Thanks guys. I thought about using pint stripe tape to outline the letters ford and paint the blue it the background black so that when you look at it from different angles you would see the blue underlay from the sides of the letters and yet it be black on the outside. Not sure how the paint would stick to the emblem though. Its a weird surface.
