You can either go chrome billet grille, black billet, chrome or black mesh grille which I have in black, or a L or HD grille.

I'd do black billet. But I also try to stay away from chrome too.

If you don't want to spend money on buying a new grill you can always paint yours black, then paint your bumper pad white to PTM.. I did that to mine, and it is a HUGE difference, you can check my photos on mine to kind of see what it looks like. A new grill would be nice too though

I want a totally new grille because I just REALLY don't like the look of mine.

Black is out if the question, it would not look right with the white and tan. Now if the whole truck was white, yeah, but not with the tan. I'm sticking to either chrome, PTM white or PTM tan.

I might PTM the chrome front bumper tan...

I have looked at the HD grilles and I think thats what i've decided on...but I want the REAL ones, not the HD Billite...not the close together one but the one where the lines are further spaced. I also dont want an insert...I want THE grille. Gotta decide on color...chrome, PTM White or PTM Tan...

I like your PTM, but you also have a noticable color, white...not so much. Still thinking Harley Davidson...the PTM wold show up better on it too if i decided to got that route with it.

The 03 Heritage Edition grille doesn't look too bad. Chrome surround with black honeycomb grille. I'm trying to track down a honeycomb section so I can do this.

Another vote for the HD. Its pretty expensive. LMC has it for $699 and Ford Parts is about the same.

I will be doing the full HD for my truck. Lower valance = $1,300, HD Headlights $245 each!! Parking lights $40 each. and the grille= $699. That's over $2500 FML lol
