Default Best lower grille for 2013 XLT?

My truck is the same as this one posted in another thread (https://www.f150forum.com/f38/2013-xlt-grill-216707/)

I don't particularly care for the look of the two bars going across and would like something that looks like the rectangular background mesh of the upper grille.

The closest I've seen to something I like is a billet grille but then I have to decide whether to get polished or black. I think the black would look good as that whole center section of the bumper is black.

Anyone have shots of different lower grille combinations with the 2013 XLT grille? Anyone good at Photoshop that could fill in the lower with different options? Maybe customize one that looks like the background rectangles?

Thanks

I looked through ebay, but very few of those pictures have the same grille my truck has (zero of the first 50) and maybe I'm just challenged in imagining how the two would look together.

Thanks, I had been wondering what the billet looked like. I think I would prefer the black powder coat.

here's the picture you sent me. Where did you get it and how much did it cost? Also, what is it made of?

It's made out of stainless... I asked Carsten (Wagner Tuning) if he would make it for me. I gave him the deminsions of the rectangles I wanted. Couldn't be more happy with the factory look. It looks like it belongs there.
