H Bar Grille changed to Blacked out Honeycomb
So, for a while now i have been looking for a Honeycomb style grille to replace my H bar style. Well, last week craigslist panned out one for $35 used- but it was a faded gray insert with a blue surround. Not a problem
With a little elbow grease, Krylon Fusion black satin paint the grey honeycomb grill became black, and is now installed on my truck. The Black Honeycomb is surrounded by the chrome grill- the 2003 Heritage edition look. Looks pretty sweet on my white truck. Pics to follow as soon as I can find my Memory card
Also, soon to come: 2002-2003 FX4 17" wheels as soon as I can find the right tires to go on them.

Trucks look great, guys 
maybe I can get mine done while I have some time off. Because I want to get to this........ watch it rain for the next ten days 
How much time did it take to get the surround/grille off ??

Ah it took me like 5 minutes to get the surround off the truck and like 20 to get the damn grill out of the surround! Just be patient so you dont break the clips on it! And btw go with a satin black not anything shiny it just looks sharper IMO. But yeah i love it and tomorrow i might black out my emblems on the truck!
