So as a side project to my False Bed Floor
(Click here [Project]: False Bed Floor)
I decided I wanted to change up my grill.

I've been wanting to do the Cervini's Sniper Grill, which looks like this if you are not familiar, but I didn't want to spend the $350 they want for it.

Well I went to Certifit and spent less then $20 with tax to get this.

I then went to take some side cutters to the inner small grill area.

Then used a Cut off to take off the horizontal bar. Still need to get in closer on the big bars. I then used the side cutters to clean up where I cut the little bars off.

That's all for now. Sunday I will be working on my bed more, and may start sanding and fiberglassing. My buddy Andy(Andysredr/t) will be doing his too, different then mine, but he's gonna teach me how to fiberglass. Don't have any experience with it first hand.

hells yea! how you gonna smooth the sides of the center bar, i think theyre hollow (thet dont curve around like the rest of the center does). and what are you gonna use for a grill?

thats a good ass idea

its been done in the past, used to be a popular mod, I think it looks better than the Sniper grille,not as bulky looking. Hell if it comes out good, wanna make me one?

I am going to fiberglass it to smooth that center bar, and I am going to build up the lower outsides with fiberglass too.

I think the billet grill I have doesnt have the horizontal bars removed, so it should work. it's not the original grill for the truck.
