Well, I went a little nuts after blacking out the headlights and deciced to paint the grill insert and lower portion the same color as the truck. What do ya'll think? All opinions welcomed! Here's som pics: before after before after

 

You did good job, but I think the piece under the grille and before the bumper you should paint white. Or paint it all white.

 

not feeling it, i would have kept the grille black, surround white and then ptm the bumpers and upper cap.

 

well you're probably not going to like this but I honestly thought it looked better before

Now it makes me think your truck was in an accident and you're putting on the new parts one at a time?

Maybe if there was some more white up front er somethin

 

I thought about having the lower valence done at one time or even the whole bumper, but for some reason changed my mind, I think it was the money. This, with what I did to the headlights cost around $20 altogether. Only reason I did the grill is because I'm going to order a new one and I thought what the hell, it coudln't hurt to dress up the old one in the mean time. I might wait awhile now, I myself like how it looks compared to the factory xl look. Thanks for the compliment bigdog.

 

Paint the bumper cap and the grille surround and maybe it wont look so out of place?

 

I'd paint the whole front end

 

Reminds me of a Star Wars Storm Trooper!.......

 

It becomes unique and one of a kind, I like the new look IMHO.

 

I would paint the surround white and the piece below it and that would put the front end together a little more.

 

I have an XL... I paid a local body shop to paint the surround white along with the upper bumper cover and then got a Roush Grill. It is expensive, but I want to keep the truck for a while.

 

Looks good Im sure you 'll paint the rest when you get time but looks great keep up the good work

 

You know what would really look good with white PTM the headlights and the rest of the front

 

It feels like it needs to be something else white some place there to complete it, or removing something black.
Just check it.

The intention is good, but not yet completed.

If the rest was PTM white it would look much better.
