Default silver truck with black grill?

i was just wondering if i could get yalls opinion. i didnt know if a fully black grill with the black surround would look good on my silver truck. Since im (slowly but surly) going for the black on silver look i was wondering if it would tie in or just look stupid?

my truck without the new headlights too get the full pic(maybe if i wasnt so lazy i would have taken another pic)


with new headlights


these are some ideas on grills....just something not too expensive to change the look



and if would look ok.which one would be better the bar style or the honeycomb?

thanks guys for your input

If you are going to get the 99 and up grill you will have to swap out the bumper also, which might not be a bad idea becausee yours is dented up, and you are going black anyways.

I found a place that could get me all of the front end parts for 300 shipped.

thats not a bad idea.i was looking to get a new bumper anyway and that would solve 2 problems with one fix.so i would need the 99 bumper also? and do you think i should go black with that too?
