Need help with grill for new FX4

I just got a new 2014 FX4 and am not really crazy about the grill. It has the black 2 bar grill and looks kind of cheap to me. Its the same grill that the XL comes with.

Would like to upgrade it with out going too crazy. Thinking about the chrome snap on overlays. has anyone done this

Would love to see pics of what some of you have done to your 2014 FX grills

Thanks

Swap to the OEM 2011/2012 grill. Best looking factory grill, in my own opinion.

That's what I'm thinking! Will they swap out easily? Can you just pop out the center insert piece and have the 2011 fit right in without cutting or changing the surround?

The grill will remove from the surround but it may be a bear to do. It is however very possible to do it. I'm sure you could find someone with an '11/'12 to swap out with.

Not sure how the new ones are, but the 04-08's are removable, and I've swapped my inserts around several times. However, it is a booger to get it loose because you have to dremel out a bunch of plastic and tabs, etc. to get it out. But it's straight forward and "easy," just time consuming.
