To each their own, but I personally find that grill hideous. Sorry, just being honest. I snagged this one to try out(raptor FORD style). Heck for $65 shipped, I really can't go wrong. Unless I screw up my old one while taking it off.

If i ever replace my 5 bar XLT grill its gonna have to be a Raptor style grill which IMO is the only grill that looks better.

I have the exact same truck as yours and I swapped my XLT chrome 5 bar to a chrome lariat 3 bar. I had a raptor grille on my truck for a week and took it off. Looked out of place with chrome bumpers and wheels. Hard to change the factory grille on a truck with all the chrome on it and not take away from the classy look. Most guys with the sport packages can pull it off easy, but chrome is alot harder to make it flow.

Not sure I follow you. The headlights on my XLT? I am happy with them for now.

I was all for the aftermarket Raptor grill but have been seeing more and more of them lately and are beginning to look to me like "posers". So I'll stick with mine or get a body painted one. Oh and yeah those billet ones look so, so stupid.

Yes, this above. Stay stock or pick any other grille option.
