RemoAZ - I think the black Plat grille would look cool painted black with the chrome billiet inserts for the grille and bumper. That would keep with the Plat theme.

TX Chris - That truck desperately needs to be lowered a tad.
HOWEVER, it's my daily driver / winter beater.
And lose the running boards... 
They started life as chromed aluminum and I had them powdercoated satin black.

bansheerider ... Did you have the dealer paint it?
Is that tuxedo black color?
Also do you think a chrome grille could be painted?
The Platinum grille is made-up of
- surround - thin metal clad that has been chrome plated and brushed.
- inserts - chrome plated plastic.
- all layered over and bonded to a black plastic shell.
Will have to wait and see if it holds-up. *Which was a concern.

Anyone have crazy photoshop skills and can put this on a white body? I have a 11 white ecoboost that I am going to black out. Going similart to the blackout thread guy on this board or the other one. There is just too much chrome on my dam truck!
