Grille suggestions...

so I got bored of working on the racecar and decided to tinker on the truck. I noticed that the top right of my chrome overlay was sticking out quite a bit (looked like someone tried to remove!!) so I decided to take it off. I've never really liked the grill and can't decide what to do. I'm thinking Roush but i'll see what you guys suggest!


this is what it has looked like the last 2 years...



took the british flag off. Not sure if it has anything to do with that happened, but I had transmission fluid poured all over the front about two weeks ago and then someone layed a chunky loogie on my windshield



So then I decided to pull the chrome piece off...



Any suggestions? I should dump the whole thing and go with aftermarket...I can hear it now..hehe. Any photos of white trucks with after market grills on them? If i decide to sell the chrome piece, how much is it worth??

Thanks guys...

hack the two cross bars off and reshape it and then paint it DSG to match your two tone and then pull the bug deflector off

Now that you have the black bars, this would look sharp. These are stainless as well:
