...a flat head screwdriver and some patience; then a little solvent to remove the excess adhesive.

Re: Blacken up...but not out.
Are there any holes under the letters?

Re: Blacken up...but not out.
Nope. No holes. The letters are just hard rubber double-sticked inside the recessed letter. They peal right out once you get something under them.
CAUTION: I think you'd be hard pressed not to scratch the grill though when working these out. I wasn't concerned too much 'cause I knew I was spraying the part with Line-X and that the coating would cover any scratches I made; but if you're looking to have the recesses be nice and shiny like the rest of the grill, you'd have to be VERY careful.

Re: Blacken up...but not out.
I just got parts on my black H2 Linex sprayed as well. I did the grill, the plastic bumpers, the front bumper for the winch I just bought, and the rear metal bumper. I kept the brush guard the factory black to offset it a bit. I gotta say, I wasnt sure what to expect, but it looks bad ass in my opinion. Gives the truck a nice rugged look, without going too far.
Which linex shop did you use?

The closest shop to me is in Frederick, MD. Where are you at? MD?
I'd like to see some pics. Have you gotten anything else done? I had most of my interior sprayed and all of the bumper, trim pieces done all the way around the truck.
