Help Me Choose Grille

I got an 05 Lariat with the beige grilla with chrome surround. I dont have beige wheels anymore I solf them and bought factory 20' and I hate chrome. I was thinking about getting an 08 xl flat black grille. What do you guys thinks trying to picture what it will look like. I love the harley but dont have the money.

I was going to just get a Roush and deal with it, but I've decided it'll be worth it to save up a tad bit longer and get the Harley! Just my 2 cents.

dang i didnt realize how expensive the harley grille is ($500). if you dont want chrome but want a factory style grille then i would suggest the fx2 or the limited grilles. the fx2 is around $200, but if you like the harley then the limited is the ptm alternative but i havent found a price on those.

You can always try painting your grille black for now.

Just get the Roush grill. I hear it adds like 450 RWHP. It's comparable to the fartshooter exhausts and "Type R" stickers on the little rice mobiles. You can't go wrong...you get all that extra power plus the love and admiration of all those other guys with Roush grills!

Looks good! I love my FX2 grille. I had a Roush chrome over plastic, but I ended up trading it for another member's FX2 grille and surround. He also has a black truck.

I think a saleen grill would look awesome on your truck, either that or get the limited grill and paint it black with a white ptm surround.
