Grille options??

[clintusaf]

i'm looking at doing something with the stock grill. I've already painted the gray section a nice flat black, but I want it to be different from most other super duty on the road. I'm looking for a black grill to go with my blacked out theme. but i don't mind a little chrome. i'm also not trying to spend $600+ for a freakin RBP grill. not a fan of them anyway.

Here's a couple links i found to ones i'm considering and wanting everyone's opinion on it. Positive or negative, let me have it. also. please feel free to posts pic or links of ones to consider.

I am not a fan of vertical bars. Our trucks look better, in my opinion, with horizontal bars. It goes with the lines of the truck and doesn't look like a Mercury. Get what ever makes your skirt blow up.

I'd say lincoln....like the F150 versions. But same difference. I like the second one better out of those 2.

I was thinking about doing something with my truck, thought maybe I'd share since you are beating me to it. I was gonna get my truck repainted black, with a black front/rear diamond plate ranch hand bumpers. And instead of like where your tan color is, have black rhino liner applied. I notice that when I wash my truck that's the roughest area from road debris. I think a full rhino liner application would be pretty cool (wouldn't worry about them buggies anymore) but I think it would be too unique if I ever wanted to sell it.

The 2nd one looks better to me, but I know what ya mean about makin yours stand out. I'm the same way. That's what makes it yours

Personally, I'd want to keep my big truck looking different than the smaller models so that someone doesn't get it mixed up with one.

# 1 looks like it came off'a Buick.

#2 looks REAL good, but I'd be worried about a Bird Strike (?)

FWIW I went with yer common "Billit Grille".. but painted it semi-gloss black (Avitar). Don't see many (if any) of them around... like that. Makes it sorta.."Mine" ?

If i had the money, what id love to do is get colormatched Tan Line-X on both bumpers, grill, rocker panels and bedcaps and fender flares after i get them.

I think I saw someone with red line-x on their truck...and it was fading, and black doesn't fade. It would look pretty sweet though.

I had red Linex in my Silverado 2500. It faded to pink and I got crap for it all the time at work.

 

[clintusaf]

from what i read, the new Line-X XTRA is not supposed to fade and keep it looking freshly sprayed.
