Which Grille

Been looking at a lot of the members truck on here and now im really wanting a billet grille. which is the best brand/ price to pay for these grilles? I dont want a plastic one or the ones that keep the ford oval on there. I want it too be black if possible but if its not i guess i could always do it myself after i get it...Is it better to have the one that goes over the honeycomb grille or replaces the honeycomb grille

do you want black or chrome ?

if you want black , i d look at something besides a billet , b/c you can see right through them

id look at carriage works , they make good stuff

and also you want the replacement grill and not the overlay

Precision or Carriage works.

I've got the Precision "Phat" billet grille on mine. You can't see through it. The bars are a little thicker on this one compared to the classic style.



I'm planning on taking it off and painting it black soon.

You should get it powder coated. No chipping.

Check out the Saleen grille. It's the sharpest one out there...

I agree. If I would have seen it before I bought the ones I have now I would have definitely went with it.
