2007 grill setup

Alright guys I need your help... Im getting ready to get a 2007 f150 4x4 lariat in white tri-coat metallic. Now... I want to get the FX2 grill and I was thinking about painting it satin black and painting the surround part of the grill white tri-coat metallic.

Now since everything else on the truck is going to be painted to match.. mirrors, handles and bumpers etc... Would the satin black grill stick out like a sore thumb? And maybe do some black headlights?

Or should I scrap that Idea?!

Thanks for the help!

I think it could go either way. The PTM look is amazing and it catches your eye alot more than the flat IMO. Look at my gallery if your thinking about making it PTM. The flat black is very sporty in my opinion and makes white trucks look pretty sweet.

I bought the FX2 grill and Harley Headlights at a local Ford dealer. I then had the grill painted the way I wanted it. The inside is actually more of a gloss black than flat but you can't tell in the pictures. It's painted the black that Ford paints there trucks, whatever that was for '06.
