Default 2014 XLT EcoBoost Upper Grill Paint Match
If you're like me, it's the little things that make it count. Ever since I decided to go with the 09-14 F150 XLT,
I've been on the fence about the amount of chrome "style" blastin' my eyeballs at full frontal view.
I talked to my paint guy and he's hooking me up with some color.
Also decided to do the little top caps on the side mirrors as well. Here's where I sit currently.

Looking good.
Swapped my stock 6 bar for a PTM 6 bar. Much better than the gigantic chrome front.

What year grill/truck do you have? My FORD logo was attached to the middle two bars.

As soon as I get the surround piece back from the paint shop...it will go on and I'll snap some pix.

Thanks Guys!

^ How were the silver spots put into the plastic black area??

Anymore details on that ?? I kinda like the studded look.

My guess would be drill holes and screw some bolts into the grill.
