Changed oil, had billet grill powdercoated, removed pinstriping
I changed my oil today. Whoever said that the factory oil filter was uber tight wasn't kidding. That damn thing was on there. After a few minutes of swearing I finally got it off. Also, the idea of poking a hole in the top of the oil filter is genius. I didn't spilla drop of oil. I went with a Mobil 1 filter and GC.

I posted some pics when I first got the truck and the dealership had already installed a billett grill and pinstriping. I didn't like either so I removed the pinstriping and had the billet grill powdercoated. I really like the way it came out.

On to the pics...
Grill:



Grill again:



No more pinstriping:

The powdercoated grille is sweet.

MUCH better than the chrome.

I'm not sure which grill it is. It was installed before I bought the truck.

I was a little pricey, $100 to have the upper and lower grill powdercoated.

Yeah, there's one piece that goes either to the radiator or condensor that is aluminum that you can see through the grill. I need to paint that piece black so that it blends in. Thanks for the compliments.
