Tell me what you think about this

I am looking at maybe doing a couple more small mods to my truck. I am thinking about getting this grill and maybe doing LT handles. What do you guys think, should I do just the grill? Or just the handles? Both or none?

I don't like how those grilles look on the fx4. Sometimes all the sections of grille look mis-aligned to me.

Do both.

I wouldn't do either on your truck. BUT! I would get the PTM handles, they'd set it off perfect. The only thing you've got chrome is your wheels so it'd kind of look off to me, but it's your truck!

Definately PTM handles. Mehh, I've seen so many of those grills they're not special to me anymore.

Emblems and headlights also have chrome on them. LT handles would look fine. I wouldn't bother with PTM handles on a black truck.

Just my opinion.

X3. Personally have never been a fan of the chrome handles, nearly always looks a little cheap to me. (IMHO) I wouldn't do any more chrome on that truck than has already been done. A little goes a long way on black.
But then again I'm one that always does a little less cosmetic and more utilitarian.

With the headlights I am going to keep the stockers with silver turn signal bulbs. I have been thinking about smoking the taillights, the third brake light is already smoked. I don't really plan on doing anything with the fender flares since they flow pretty good with the dsg on the rocker panels, and since there is so much of the plastic on the bed the flares would kinda look out of place if painted.

But I have been thinking about getting the mirrors, and grill painted. Maybe I will do the handles also, I don't know . I am not going to do anything until the weather gets nice, since we have had 32"+ of snow in the last week, I figure new mods should come with good weather.

also i think the LT handles would look great since you have the chrome rims....its not too much chrome but just enough...i wouldn't waste my money on PTM handles on black since they dont stick out that much

Ehh..that grill is nice and I'm sure you will like it. I had one on my 04, but I got bored with it. Just something about it got boring to me after a few months. Thats why when I traded that truck, the grill went with it.

I would deffinetly do the LT handles. I think they would look great on your truck. I've got them and have a few pictures in my gallery if you wanna take a look. If you had chrome bumpers and chrome steps and chrome wheels, then I would say dont get them as it would be to much chrome and start to look tacky.
