not like the ugly billet grilles
My truck is same blue as yours with the same step bars, except mine is step side

Ill post a better pic in the morning
Yes your grill looks pretty good and ties in well with your truck.
To the op I was going to suggest a FX2 grill, it is about as close to roush as you can get with out paying the roush price... the only difference being the horizontal bars are closer together then the one pictured here... Just a matter of preference for the buyer... FX2 or 4 did have some really nice characteristics as one of the f150's.

They're on a national back order as of now. They might start making them a few months or so down the line like they did last time it went on back order.

That's looks good! Do you have the seller or brand I can checkout?

Benny - do you have pics of the transformation?

Big - yeah that's the main reason I haven't changed it yet but I think it's time for something new.
Best part is you can change it whenever and it can say whatever you want. Down side is you still have the honeycomb and the oval, so it still look basically the same.

In my opinion this grille if back ordered is worth the wait.
And remember you can sell the core from your old grille to get back some of the cost.
