Does anyone got pics of a platinum with the XLT Sport Grill? I am guessing that is the STX grill?

I finally got some pics other than in my driveway and it looks better than I thought color-wise.
So I'm happy.

I have a bluejean lariat and had to get a stx grill to get bluejean. You need to see what colors lariat or stx/xlt se come in to get black or grey insert
This is exactly what I plan to do on my new XLT...STX grille is ordered. Any tricks on the swap or is it pretty straightforward?

Very easy actually. A bit time consuming, but on a scale of 1-10. I'd say it's a two.
I just looked at a couple YouTube vids.

So I have a 2018 f150 Platinum and wanted to go w/ the raptor style grille. I ordered this item: https://www.ebay.com/itm/26387694321...m=263876943219 But realized there is no accommodation for a front facing camera. What have others done to get the Raptor styling with the integrated factory front facing camera?

Here is my attempt at cleaning it up a bit. Peel-able paint so when I get bored with it I can try something else.

First day at home!

^Nice! Thanks for posting was thinking of doing that myself and was wondering how it was going to look. It might look good to add the oval.

That looks nice! Did you black out the bars and grill somehow?

This actually doesn't look terrible with the chrome bumpers.
