Chrome is out of the question. I am thinking white or gold only. But a white guard might add too much white to the truck IMO.

NO on the white! I agree with the AZ beige, I think it would look good.

Ya, thats what I thought. White guard on a white truck might be too much white. I also think that leaving it black would be a poor choice, so I think the Arizona Beige is the winner.

Here is an old photo of another members truck that I had saved. It's not perfect but I think it give you an idea of how it will look.

My buddy with a full replacment on his F350 had his repainted to match twice now cause it keeps peeling. The only other options I think would be powder coat or the Rinoliner but the color that was released to match is darker then whats on the truck.

Wow! That really is somethin!!! I really didnt mean to offend you on your ugly *** Grille Guard, but if thats how you feel oh well. If it makes you feel better, its not the nastiest GG Ive ever set my eyes on, but its up there on the list. Maybee you can take some pictures of those cool welds, Im sure that would change my mind. I just dont like the wierd bars under the lights and the circular tube that goes around the grille. Im not sure how much more protection you need for the tranny cooler, but that bars cool I guess.

Anyway, COPELAND!, looks good. Congrats on the right choice. Im still not sure what it would look like painted. I like how deerfeeds looks, but his bumper is the same color though.

you're right, it isn't the nastiest looking GG, but yours sure is. don't be offended though, that ranchhand riveted advertisement looks good, and you should be proud of it. oh and that european extra loop on top is the greatest...really gives it that european "flare." what does that protect by the way? haven't been able to figure that out. besides, the bars under your headlights are THE best. lol.
you know, only a kid makes generalized insulting comments like "fugly." how old are you anyway?

Well, I think yours is nastier than mine is, so there! Im not at all offended, I dont even know what your talking about (ad). Im not sure what that bar is on top....maybee extra hood protection, maybee just an extra bar to hang on to if you happen to be doing the nasty in front of your-excuse me, my truck. Who knows. Do you really think it looks euro? I do think its the greatest though, thanks. And I think my bars under the lights are the bestest too. Again, in all seriousness, sorry I used kid like words like fugly. Didnt mean to insult. You've been a member here long enough it seems, you should know how check out public profiles to hunt down critical info like you need. I think my age is there. You probably cant figure it out seeing your from Texas so its 24.

-I probably shouldnt have opened that can of worms up, ^^ look out! "lol"

Be careful with the insults, there are a lot of people on this board from Texas. If I'm not mistaken, the grill guard you speak so highly about was originally from Texas. It may be from Mexico now though. I'm originally from Austin.

You're right, that was uncalled for. Sorry to all the Texans out there.
