Limited grill...what colour do you think?

So after some patient waiting I finally came accross a limited grill and good thing i was off today to bid last second as I won!

Just curious as to what colour you think I should paint it? Oxford white or the Arizona Beige? I am leaning over towards the oxford white...opinions? Thanks!

Good buy! Would help to see a picture of your truck? I'm guessing white if you have AB on the bottom?

Oxford. Can't wait to see it installed. Are you going to keep the chrome surround? I'd like to see it with a PTM surround.

i think you should get it painted oxford white, and keep the surround chrome, it'll flow with the headlights, handles, and mirror caps

congrats on the purchase , that is an awesome looking grille and very hard to come by. i know the ptm looks good on the limited trucks but i also think the AB would add a little contrast and look pretty good and more original.

i think i changed my mind, the white looks much better. i did a quick photoshop, im not good at adding realistic looking color so the beige would probably look different but the white turned out descent.

Oxford white is your best bet. AB might look good with PTM surround though.
