Default Aftermarket grill

As alot of you know, I have a white/chrome thing going on with my truck. I thought I would carry that forward with a billet grill. I want to keep the H-bar stock grill, so just looking for aftermarket add on to stock. Kinda liking the punched or mesh type of grilles but would like both upper and lower.
So post up what you got or recommend, pic's would be nice and best place to buy. Thanks Jim.

Alot of Cheaply done chrome places out there. Cheap chrome job means rust in under a week. Stainless last longer.... I dont know if mine is stainless or chrome, didnt look but a second. Its clean though, just the attaching screws are rusted now.

kickinit, where did you get yours??

I want mine to sit back in the H frame as well. Lots I see are flush up front.

Did you cut out the honeycomb **** and bolt this in its place or is it mounted over top of it??

Is Billit a good way to go. I have been looking at billits and not chrome??

I hate to ask you this too but where did you get your bull guard? I like it cause it doesnt have the chrome skid plate.


PS. I love looking at your truck. You've done a great job.... Ok so, so what if I want my truck to look like yours hahaha!!

Wish I could take credit man, I didnt do any of it really. I bought it pretty modded already, almost right off the show room floor. The insert actually screws over the top of the honeycomb, only problem I see with yours is the color, since my honeycomb was black so its hard to see.

Billet is ok too, but much like chrome it needs maintenance to keep its look. Stainless is just clean as normal really.

No problem for me to ask the former owner your questions, I would guess ebay for the insert, and the bull bar I would think Ford.
