Grille Project: Complete

Permanent Linkby carsonhowe22 on Jun 20 2012, 7:38am

My truck is now officially the Batmobile. I had an idea for a custom grille a little while back and the dream finally became a reality. Also have a blue/UV underglow behind the grille and in the wheel wells.

I started out with a chrome grille that had no emblem in the center, just a full diamond mesh. I painted it black with Krylon Fusion gloss black spray paint and bolted on the Dark Knight emblem, made of powdercoated stainless steel. After that, I installed the LEDs for the underglow in the grille and wheel wells, wired to the same switch as my interior footwell lighting.

That's friggen sweet Carson! I'm not even a fan of the Dark Knight series, but in the dark it looks good, and I love the blue lights behind the grill and wheels. Very good work man!
