Sounds good. I'll give you a shout when I get home from work. May holler at you one day when we down that way. Should be home on the 5th. I see your in the military. Thanks for that! If you like to shoot, we can shoot while we at the pits. We'll have to post some before and after pics of the trucks that day. Lol

It is pretty close. The lower grille is steel so the chrome finish is shiny. The upper grille is plastic and has a platinum, brushed type finish. I got this one because it had the diamond shape cuts and matched the new 13 grille. This particular lower grille is the one that actually matched up with the 12 Lariat. The 12 Platinum had the squared pattern and there was a different lower grille for that model. Not sure about the actual quality of steel, but the grille has about 2,000 miles on it and there are no dents or bends in it.

This was my 2011 5.0 Platinum. It was struck by lightning while I was driving in the Black Hills of South Dakota. My insurance company ended up totaling it after working on it for almost a month. About a billion volts of electricity vaporized my antennae and fried all of my electronics...

That would be torture. It took five weeks from the day I ordered mine and that seemed like an eternity. After seven hours of being home it had the mud flaps on the door detent 3 installed and the PLATINUM letters on it. My wife said I hadn't had that much energy in years.
