Default 2011 XLT Chome Grille swap to XL grille anyone? - SWAP COMPLETE

Anyone have a 2010-2011 XL Grille they want to swap with a 2011 XLT 6 bar chrome grille? Not sure if the XL's come with body color but if it does, I have a Sterling Gray Metallic color. Can anyone also confirm if this swap would fit on both models? Let me know if anyone's interested. Thanks!!!

Yeah, i found out about that when I saw pics of the XL. I hope someone wants to have a crome grille. I want to swap it with that one.

My new XLT came with the 6 bar chrome - I would gladly trade it for a black one. Was thinking of having the Line X guy spray it and the bumper when he does the bed.

I have a black XL grill. You can see pictures in my album posting. It has no emblem, as I put it on my 3 bar XLT grill. All but one top tabs are busted off, but as everyone says, the tabs don't make a difference. I really dont need another grill, but if you pay the shipping, I would swap with you. I think it's about 40 bucks.

Did you ever got to spray the bumper with line x? I hate the chrome on my xlt so I'm trying to minimize it as much as I can. Do you have a pic of it. Thanks.

Sorry, didn't see the post till now. I bought a direct bolt in replacement grille instead and now I'm selling the XLT chrome grille. Thanks !

Haven't done it yet - some others are advising against it - but am still thinking of doing it myself with the Dupli-color bed spray which can be bought over the counter for about $10 a can. Got to put a grille guard and a winch on, too. This thing is gonna like a truck one way or another! I MISS MY F250 POWERSTROKE!

Just wondering why the OP bought an XLT with the chrome package if he doesn't like chrome. Impulse buy without thinking it through?

I was told you couldn't get colored bumpers and grille on an XLT - and with all the "packages" now you usually end up with some things that you don't really want. But such is life. Makes for something to play around with. There was a heck of a discount on the chrome package which included things that would have been more expensive to put on individually.
