For or some reason my black sport has a graphite grill.

That is how they come from the factory, you can have yours painted by your dealer or do it yourself.

This is still my favorite picture of the SE grill. I guess it's why I made it my Avatar.

I love my STX grill. I have the glossy black mesh on mine and my truck is Magnetic in color. I would love to add some bright driving lights on those little squares just inside the headlights on the outer portions of the grill. OC, your truck is awesome looking.

Are you happy with the ride quality of those wheels and tires? I just put lowering shackles on my reg cab, and the same 22’s I bought off marketplace and I am not happy with the ride quality at all. I had the rims and tires re-balanced, but the truck still bumps a lot, and just doesn’t drive or feel good to me anymore. Not sure if maybe it’s just because of the shackles? The wheels and tires are almost brand new

You are going to have a crappy ride with 22" rims because the wheel is all rim and no tire. There is no sidewall,the sidewall acts like an additional shock absorber....but man I bet those 22's look cool! lol

yeah I posted them on marketplace for trade and have three different people with three different styles of factory 20’s wanting to trade ASAP. So back to 20’s I go!

Hey Guys, you think it’s at all possible to get the Lariat SE grill/ STX grille in white platinum? I’m getting a platinum and like the SE grill a lot better.

I doubt it....I could not get one in Guard Metallic. The SE option is limited to fewer colors then other trucks.

When you go to the build site on Ford.Com and build a Lariat SE then try to select White Platinum you get this message. You could order in a different color and have it painted to match the rest of the truck.

can anyone suggest a good vendor for emblem replacements? Was looking for a high quality replacement with the black shroud painted as well

This came up before you can get the STX grille in Oxford White and repaint it or if you want the Lariat SE grille get it in Ingot Silver and have it repainted
