New to me grill and tailgate badges. Custom painted and purchased from HSBII. Now I just need to find some reasonably priced black fender badges.

The badges look pretty good, black out isn't my thing but the badges turned out nice.

The flag not in proper colors is disturbing to me however...

Just my opinion, but the blackout thing doesn’t bother me, but I’ve always had a problem with any depiction of the American flag as anything other than red, white and blue.

My only comment would be to change the tires to something less stuffed in there. 2wd doesn’t look right with that tall of tires.

Would look better with 285/55/20?

The whole thing about blacks is, if you stand back a few feet you don't see any details.

I knew the non-stock and black out stuff would stir it up. Thanks fellas! I appreciate the comments both positive and negative.

As for the flag; I understand and respect those with a different point of view. However that flag stays on my truck. By the way the one in front of my house is Red, White and Blue.

God Bless the USA!

The title of the thread is just trolling for negative replies. I'm not making the payment on that truck. I don't care what he does with it.
