Run a stock grill until you get your Saleen. Personally I love the HD grill most, but I do feel the Saleen grill will fit your truck better. Go paint matched ( entire mirrors, handles ) and it will look very clean with the Saleen. Someone on here has a black w/ DSG two tone '07 Fx4 with a Corsa exhaust.

If you do go for the $600 harley grill, you can re-sell it for a fairly high profit as mentioned. Keep the box!

Thanks Darren,
Ya I think I'm going fx2 since it won't be coming out of my pocket then. Might be buying a Saleen grille as we speak tho. All depends in price of shipping..

Mirrors and door handles are already black. (I took those pesky chrome handle caps off a week after I got it)
Going to do the mirror cap gloss black tho, and maybe the handles idk yet..
Oh ya its getting a custom Borla exhaust once I get the money from selling my old truck.

Well the guy wants 150 plus shipping. So I might lose some money on this deal, I guess that's what happens when you can't find one.
(how can you find an invoice from way back yonder)

Gmail, lol.

The invoice was a PDF.

Besides - I keep everything

Good luck - I hope it's in pristine condition. Did he send you any pics?

FX2...I'm baised though, my grille is a chrome plated version sold on the chrome edition trucks

In all honesty, why spend on two grilles? use the dough on something else to complement the grille!

That's as good as you're gonna get though. Even at $200, it's great. If I didn't have my other plans that require a large sum of money, I'd grab it for that.

Allow me to display why I didn't want to just to the mirror cap. First let me mention, I hate flat black trim on gloss black paint.



That matte flat looking trim is way out of place on black. Other colors all pull it off well, but black does not at all. mSall told me to go full PTM mirror and he was so right!

Oh, in attempt to spend more of your money, head over to Pillarcovers on eBay and get some gloss black on there, love mine!
