Its been a while- New Picks

Well its been a long summer and I just have not made the time to enjoy this great forum.
But..............I am back.

I need some advice on a new grille. I really like the Carriage Works Billet grille, but do you guys think it would look good considering I have a black bull bar?
If not, what do you suggest?

MINI ME!

Yeah, I like your grill but I want somthing different from the FX4 style with the bars. (I just need a change)

The Harley grill is pretty nice though....

Again, can anyone photoshop a Billet and/or a Harley grill into my truck? Please.........

are you wanting billets between the bars or cut the bars out and a full billet



Only reason I didn't get an FX4 was I did not like the grille after I made the purchase I found out that you can cut out and replace easy

I am looking for a grill just like yours. That's not a full replacement grill?

It makes the front end clean up so nice!

My only concern is what it would look like with a black (not chrome) bull bar.
It seems that the only combo people choose is a chrome bull bar with a billet grill.
What do you think?

I also love the grill craig, and am in the process of ordering one. I noticed the 'Ford' emblem on your grill.

Did you get the grill with no emblem cutout...

No cut-out

or the standard one with the cutout?

Cut-out

Just wondering...thanks again for posting the link.

with it being black in the cracks and you having the brushed chrome skid plate I think the combo would look real good

no cut out the one with the cut out looks cheap with all that space around the emblem, it attaches easy the nuts don't grab much you actually have to turn the stamped nuts upside down to get it to grab at all so I stuck some silicone behind the emblem to be sure it stays though. Plus you can try it with and without to see which way you like best.

Now the question is do I go with a full replacement, or bolt over grill. I'll tell you this, from looking at your pictures I could never tell it was not a full replacement.

Again, how about some photoshop help......................Please
