I'm currently doing the swap... Decided not to swap bumper , fabricating my own . Also fabricating a new grill to resemble my previous custom grill. Hope this helps 👊

IMO the best looking after market grill for 2018 was shown at SEMA on RTR's concept truck. I don't think you can buy it though.

So nice to see a aftermarket company incorporate that 3C's into producing a product ( Clean, Cool, and Classy ) Other Manufactures need to take note 👊 Couple details I'd address but I'm sure they know what they are and there's no doubt they were in a time crunch to get ready for SEMA. Props to the guys at RTR

This is looking great! I was previously driving a 2011 Cadillac SRX and upgraded my grill to the latest grill. Every time I was at the dealer they thought my car was newer. I know this '18 swap is a bit more involved, and I love how you're going the extra mile for the custom touch. Great job!

What colour is yours? I have a Ruby Red SE with the honeycomb and looking to go to the Sport Grille in either Ruby Red or Magnetic.

Shadow Black with the Magnetic Sport Grill. I don't want the black sport grill, it's either Black STX grill or keep my Magnetic Sport Grill.

Now that would've been a great factory grill option!
I ordered up the 2018 Lariat Sport/SE simply because of the grill.
I do not like the new 2-bar 2018 grills at all.

Here's a better shot of the RTR Grill, that thing is sweet. The matching bumper grill looks great too.
