King Ranch grill on a Lariat, is it just me...

I parked next to a King Ranch at Home Depot this afternoon and thought that his grill would look great on my truck. Has anyone else thought about trying this? Is the color of the KR grill the same AZ beige as the two tone on the Lariats? I always liked the looks of the FX4 grills but didn't think that a black grill would look good on my truck.

Here's a pic of the grill from 05 150 KR's gallery. Hope he doesn't mind.

Definatly gives off a much beefier look, but the truck has to match that beefiness or else it will look out of place.

I agree. I always thought the KR grill looks too busy. Its just too obvious that they combined the two into one grill.

It looks the same as the FX4 grill to me...only in AZ Beige.

seems like the same two-tone color. Go for it if you like it. I don't see any difference with swapping it just like others have been doing on here with XLT and FX4 grills.

Hey, I'm watching your thread as close or closer than you are. I'm probably a year away from getting rims but I'm still looking.

As soon as the KR came out, I liked the grill - this was months ago. I like it because it looks like a truck grille instead of an Expedition grille, IMO. I called the dealer and was told it was somewhere around $280 (if I remember) and that it would have to be painted. I dont care for the FX4 as it is a flat black, and my mods are powdercoated black. I WILL get the KR grill, I will paint it to match the color of my Lariat grill/wheels... because I like it!

Note, tho - the KR grill matches the lower bumper color - consider how it will look with your chrome...

I would think that if you ordered the KR grill it would already be az beige.

Chrome? The only chrome I have is the step bars and my Lariat grill is already az beige anyway.
