I would have to agree with you CSK.....not too many choices, other than black, that would look good with the Arizona Beige.

Lariat: IMO, I think black would look real good!

There is a co-worker that had an Expy that was the same color as my truck and it had a color matched painted grill. In my opinion, there was too much red up front and it just did not look right.

With that being said, TheLariat, I would think that if you painted your grill the AZ beige, it would end up giving the 'too much' apperance and you would not be happy with it. But it is your truck and you could paint it AZ beige, and the worst thing that you would end up having to do is to repaint it to a different color.

Finished!

I finished my grill last night but I can't for some reason post pics. Any ideas? I want to thank Patman03Screw and Tiny1 for their help. It turned out great and looks so much better. I wish I could add a picture or two. Anyone able to tell me how? Thanks.

ohiobob,

Congrats !!! In order to post pictures, you will need to create a picture gallery either here on f150online or some other picture hosting web site. Then you create your message by clicking 'add a reply', then hit the 'add image' button (it is the second one from the right). Then you go to your gallery (I found that by opening a seperate internet page and going directly to the album works the best), and select the picture you want to post and hit the 'forum codes' link and it will give you the links to 2 different sizes of your picture. Copy and paste the link into the window that opened when you clicked on the 'add image'. Once you have done this, click 'submit reply' and if everything was done right, your picture will show up in your post.

I hope that this helps.

My dad has a red expedition as a work vehicle. It had a red grille on it and it was fugly. My dad is not know to go aftermarket or swap anything out, but when he replaced the grille he asked the body shop to put an all black one on there.

Mike,

I came across that picture somewhere along the line and just had to have it. Fortunately the fire dept. that I am in is in a rural setting and we do not have too many fires. But the devil in me is waiting for the time that some poor sucker parks their vehicle in front of a fire hydrant and we have to make a connection. Guess what.... it will look just like this



Oh... and I could have it done in about 30 seconds!!!!!!
