Returning Damaged Grille.... Now Fx2 or Roush?

I am in a pickle again.... The company is letting me return the damamged grille, so I took that off last night and installed the original h bar grille back on the truck... Now I have tinted tails and headlights that are coming in the mail that are black... Would the Roush grille or the Fx2 Grille be a better pick... I think the fx2 because my dad can paint it black... (he's a painter) but at the same time I wanted to get the LT handles and the chrome grille would look nice with matching handles... what do you guys think?

PTM handles/ FX2 grille
or
LT Handles/ Roush Grille



Thanks for the opinions

My 2 pesos....

If you're going with black heads and tinted tails, I'd to the PTM handles and the fx2 grill... nothing else on the truck will be chrome... will it?

Well I kinda didn't want to go with black rims, but if there is nothing else chrome on the truck i might have to go with the black rims... I was possibly thinking chrome rims, lt handles and roush grille... but the tails and heads won't match..... argh... I dunno... im stuck! Anyone have a FX2 grille on a silver truck.....

I would do the FX2 with ptm handles. And I think you could do black or chrome rims and it would look good.

Other than the bent piece on the billet grill how did you like the look?

I think the Roush grill will offer a nice bit of contrast and will match well with the LT handles, a set of chrome wheels, and chrome badging already on your truck.
