STX - FX4 Grills

Hello all, I have a white Lariat with Arizona Beige trim. I want to replace my beige honeycomb grill with either the white bar style or the beige King Ranch. Since eventully I am going to have the bumpers, mirrors, door handles, flares etc. all painted white, I thought I'd just get the white grill now. I am going to keep the chrome grill trim though. Does anyone have a photo of a white bar grill with chrome trim they can post for me please. Maybe one with the beige too? I have looked through the galleries but haven't found one yet. Also, I remember a company sold the honeycomb insert for the empy vent in the bumper but don't recall who. Anyone know who sells it?

As always, Thanks!

Cool Grills

Ok, so it seems no one has a white truck with a white STX/FX4 grill. What about the lower bumper insert? I found out Abbott Manufacturing used to sell the "GAP" grill on ebay but I can't find their contact info, not even with a Google search. Any help would be appreciated.

The painted body color H-bar sytle grill only comes on the FX4 w/luxury package, which is still listed as late availability by ford, which means they are not out yet.

The STX came with painted h-bar grill and bumpers just like the FX4. I believe they still do. Check it out. Maybe he can find one from an STX.

If you go to
https://fordparts.com/oe_parts_catalog.html
and look up body parts for your year there is some painted bar type grills in there. Be aware that I ordered a ebony honeycomb grill and it came in the primered paint to match configuration and I was told ford does not send out painted parts anymore because there were to many returns due to shipping damage.

I believe those are referring to the color of the surround only. The body color bar grills weren't available until this year.

Here is a thread about painted silver grills. White should look pretty similar.
