It would look better if it was more uniform. I think that it would look good in the grille too, but only if the pattern is changed. The bowite does not look bad, actually I kind of like it. Good concept let us know how it turns out.

Just a thought. Your idea might look better when finished. Or it might look worse. Just have fun with the effort and sooner or later you will have something you like.

I'm also a long ways from doing custom body work, so that idea is on the back burner for now,

For some reason, I like the dual headlight front ends on that body style of truck. With dual headlights, that grill may look better because the grill area is smaller.
Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into your brain...that is where crappy ideas come from.

A bunch of small bits of painters tape and some black is what I used to change it from a checker board to just horizontal bars from headlight to headlight. I'll try and post a picture.
