Thanks a lot for the comments everyone. Makes me more confident to do some more write ups of some things I'm going to do to my Jeep soon.

The letters I just scratched a little bit with the sandpaper. Not a lot. maybe 5-8 seconds each just enough so the paint had some roughness to stick to.

Fantastic job!!! I really like how you conformed the grill slots, looks really stylish.

That Blue and Black combo looks so good together. I think that is probably the only color combo this would look good with though.

Nicely done all around.
