Grille and Headlight Suggestions for a Silver Truck

Hey guys right now I have a Silver F150 see pic. Now that I have fixed the mechanical stuff I would like to focus on the appearance a bit. I will be getting tries and such in the future so Im good there. However, I was wanting some suggestions on a grille and headlight setup that would look good on a Silver truck. I would think black or something. I have always have had black vehicles so this is a bit new to me. Thanks for the input.

Billet grille, or Harley Davidson grilles always look good on silver trucks! The Saleen grille which I have, has a dark gray matte finish to it like your bed rails, but I don't know if you can get one anymore.

Headlights, I would get some retrofitted heads with black housings. There are quite a few people who can make them for you on this site, or look at one of the threads how to do it yourself.

You can always PTM your headlight housing yourself pretty easy. Just heat up the seal and pull apart and have at it.

The nice thing about black is that it looks good with anything. Regarding a specific recommendation, it's a matter of taste and budget. Factory look? Mesh? LED Light bar built-in?

For grilles, there's a lot out there. Here's something relatively new and unique. http://www.realtruck.com/paramount-e...s/46-0807.html




Hope this helps.

Nice truck bud!

If your talking about a black Saleen grille like Jesusfrk has, they still can be had but theyve gone up considerably in price. I was going to buy one for my truck but decided to stick with my Roush. Might be worth it you tho, it's nice.

I actually like the grille you have now, H-bars looks very nice on silver trucks.. I'd probably get some black heads and leave the grille, maybe focus on PTM'ing your mirror caps and door handles etc.

Your welcome.. It dresses up the truck real nice.. You can either remove the mirror caps and handles yourself, prep and paint them or have a professional body shop do it for ya.. I had mine done by my Ford dealer.

If you need a set of door handles as a spare I have my original set from my truck sittin in my closet. Just PM me if interested.
