I've have the black H-Bar (Stock), the Carriage Works Black Billet (I got it used, but I wasn't super impressed with the fitment) and my Patman Badgeless. Obviously the one Patman made me is my favorite, but since I have no idea if you could convince him to make another one; I'd go for the FX2.

The FX2 grille is my favorite OEM grille, plus it would totally go with the "street truck" look you have going on.

Just my $0.02 worth...

The CW billet looks like 1990 reincarnated, the mesh looks like a cheese grater or a chain link fence. Yuck.

FX2 grille would look nice on your truck, as would the Roush COP grille.

I'm leaning towards the FX2 or Saleen. The thing with the Roush is that it is chrome. I want black.

The Saleen would look good on there.

The stock FX4 grill flows better with the stripes on your truck. The horizontal grills will break up that area of your truck too much, in my opinion. The grill area shouldn't be a focal point. It should be a accent. That's my $.251231 (adjusted for inflation and the poor economy)

haha I like that...inflation. LOL

I dig what your saying. Guess I want to see what it would look like with either the FX2 or Saleen photochopped on there. I can't do it...but if someone else wants to try, go ahead. I'll add a straight front shot.

Idunno. The H-bar grille you have now matches the Roush lower you have better. I had the Roush lower when I had with my FX2 grille, and why I made my own FX2 lower.

My advice, keep what you have.
