The tan honeycomb don't look great, I usually like black honeycomb but on the tan 2 tone trucks it does look off. Lose lose situation haha

I wondered how honeycomb would look on mine, but probably not great once I add tan 2 to so I think I'll do a full ptm on my H-bar

Its a fx2 sport grille. I just have the front emblem in the mail. Its smaller then the one that was on my lariat oem grille.

rock auto sells the sport grille for cheap.

I just ptm'd the surround and matte blacked the insert because it was all block gloss from rock auto

I agree, paint it black...if you still don't like it then look at other options. I like the honeycomb because of it's history with Ford so I plan on leaving mine like this.

Be aware that most aftermarket grilles will mount to an existing OEM honeycomb, unless they are made to replace it all together.

Paint it black; it will look much better.

Plus, it seems the honeycomb will flow more air through its opening.

Good idea. I'll try black. What type of paint should I be using to do this?
