[QUOTE="Deinonychus, post: 338902, member: 2150"] (I have posted this modification in the Vendors Forum. Please excuse the repetition for those who have already read that thread) I recently ordered raw aluminum grill letters from Custom Truck Shop. It was my hope to create a more aggressive looking grill that wasn't too "in your face". As we would most certainly all agree, the Raptor grill is one of the best grills ever to come from a auto or truck manufacturer. I attempted to place a little more accent to its character. I had the letters Line-X'ed black. The vendor sent me screws with the letters, but I decided to try to achieve a more "manufactured" look: I went in search of stainless steel hex head bolts. 1/4" bolts were too large for the vendor drilled holes. I decided to attempt to find bolts that didn't require enlarging the holes. I found some 4mm by 25mm hex head bolts (stainless steel). The hex heads are 7mm. Here is the result of my efforts: [ATTACH=full]203390[/ATTACH] A close up of the "O": [ATTACH=full]203391[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
