Chrome edition lariat grill or non- chrome edition? I have an opportunity for either one. I need to see some photos if possible. I know someone did some photoshop work but i need some closer detailed images to decide. thanks to all.

 

I don't have pictures or anything but IMO I don't think the chrome lariat grill would suit the FX4 truck. Especially if it has the grey 2 tone and the factory fender flares. I like the PTM grill surround of the FX4's and I would trade my chrome grill for a Blue Flame FX4 grill in a second.

 

No chrome on an FX4 please.

 

For the FX4 look at replacing your center section with a Carriage Works Black power coated billet grill. You will still have your PTM surrond with the custom center. There is also a lower grille to match.

 

its the shizzle

 

 

Do not put Lariat or XLT chrome grilles on a FX4. Thank you.

 

having just the inner part chrome on the FX4 wouldn't look that bad, but I agree the entire chrome grille is a bit much. (well the Platinum is similar with painted bumpers too but Platinum also has other chrome stuff to go along with entire chrome theme)

Certain 04-08 FX4's looked sweet with a polished billet replacement grille and matching bumper grille. 09-10 FX4's could look great too with billet replacements but I think the lower polished/chrome bumper grilles don't look that great on our 09-10 trucks because of those big black plastic bumper guards take away from the overall look.

Here's a couple of various "custom" factory grille setups I'd like to see someone try on their truck (FX4 or whatever):

1. either a chrome XLT 3-bar or XLT chrome pkg 6-bar, leave the inner bars chrome but paint the outer surround piece to match the truck
2. paint to match the black inner 3-bars on the FX4 grille (just like the old 08 FX4 Luxury Pkg used to have a PTM h-bar grille)
3. paint black or dark grey the inner 6-bars on the FX2 grille and paint the surround to match the truck (basically how it already comes on the FX2 truck)
4. paint the entire 6-bar FX2 grille to match the truck

Depending on what truck model you have, which color, and what theme/color of your other modifications, one of those 4 "custom" grille setups might look pretty sweet!

 

I am buying a 2009 lariat grill w/o chrome surround. I will be leaving the silver around it and then am going to black out the silver grill behind the chrome.

 

I think I'm going to put a Platinum grill on my FX4 just to pi$$ in everyone's cheerios... It's his truck and he didn't ask for your opinions in this posting...He just wants some photos.

 

https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...x4-grile-1.jpg I think this looks pretty good on the fx4

 

^^i disagree, respectfully, i belive the guy that recomended the carriage works was o the right track. in my humble opinion.

 

Have you seen the other posting on this thread of the black FX4 with the Lariat grill? Looks hot! Now I think I really AM going to put a Lariat grill on my FX4...


I wish they would have offered chrome bumpers on the FX4 as well... Not only for looks but off road, painted bumpers chip easier. If not, then offer a locker on other trim levels.
