Default Got my grille "Line-x'd" today *pic*

Overall I am happy with how it turned out, but can't get over that silver lower bumper that comes on the 08' n' up H3s. Does anyone know if it's interchangeable with the previous model year H3s that came with the black lower bumpers? If not, I may have to try and not screw it up with a can of Duplicolor or something....

They are interchangeable... you could always Linex or Duplicolor bedline yours... it unbolts easier than the grille did...

I'm thinking Line-X that grey area too. It does stand out on all the 08's and newer, more than it should I'd say.
Perhaps spray it the color of the body.

Your grille came out great.

looks very interesting.
Do you think it will be hard to clean the bugs off the grille?
Did the guy put that product right over the chrome grille surface?

I'm not sure if they scuffed it up before they sprayed it or not to be honest. I just dropped it off, then picked it up a few hours later. Just as reference to anyone else considering getting their H3's grille sprayed, I only payed $64 including tax. One place I called wanted to charge me $200!

I've often joked...good nature kind of poking fun, at friends with the 08/09 silver chin out front. You could paint teeth and a tounge on that thing!!

Actually they look pretty good lineXed or duplicolor truck linered as well.

Bugs? Those aren't bugs, look at them as "Confirmed Kills" you could tally them up and place a sticker for each on the side of your rig. I say right around the door handle like a fighter jet...

Lol, no sh**....I'm letting the second coat dry as we speak. I started to take it apart so I could hang it on a piece of string and spray it the right way, but it started to become more of a pain in the **** than I bargained for. I just masked off the surrounding areas with painter's tape and started sprayin'....Pics to follow upon completion
