    looking for a custom grille

    Dear Mr.Kyle
    My name is Eddie and I like the way you made that ford grille. I was wondering if u made them for any other cars besides the ford SVT raptor trucks. The reason im asking is becuase my dad has a birthday coming up and he loves that trucks grille it has. He loves the way it says FORD all big across the front. He's been talking about this design for a whole year now.I would love to hear back from you with good news about if it is possible to be made for that type of car....Thanks Eddie

    I think it would look a lot better on a Saleen grille, or any grille that isn't mounted flush to the grille surround. It's sitting out off the grille too far for my taste, but the idea is cool. :waytogo:

    Once I get mine I will be mounting it to my saleen grill. Just got to do it without damaging the saleen grill in any way. They are too hard to come by now!

    Ya. That's why one of three things will happen. Eather it will fit the saleen grill with no issues, I will put my stock honeycomb back on and run it to decide weather the ford+ honeycomb looks better or worse than the saleen, and last, I will have a bad ass ford emblem in my shop! Haha

    I think going with the honeycomb and the ford across the front would look the best. But I wouldn't do a contrasting color like the white truck, I think part of where its cool factor comes from is the subtle factor. like a light grey or black would look dope

    I think you're right, using a less contrasting color would not look bad.

    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    i have to agree. when I looked at the white one, I was like :shrug: I just didnt like the fact that it clearly looks like its just over the grille, rather than recessed like the true "FORD" on the Raptor.

    Still a great idea and great looking letters!

    Got mine in today. Mocked it up real quick a min ago, waiting for black paint to dry to mock it up again. Still working on how I am going to mount it....
