I have an 08 f150 and it has that chrome or fake plastic chrome grill, my truck is black and think a black one would look much better I see them around town I think they are on older models 06-07 I'm not sure anyway how hard is it to change it to a black one if I can et my paws on one or how can I paint mine

 

You can actually find some black plastic ones on eBay that look good and are fairly cheap in price. Or you can get some much nicer Billet style grills on many different sites such as AutoAnything.
