XLT grill on a FX2. how does it look?

Also, i drove this truck Memphis to Tampa.
Round trip 2299 miles. avg 18mpg.

5.0 coyote

SCREW

This is a marvelous road vehicle. comfortable,
powerful, good visibility. The rear camera is
a must on this vehicle IMHO.

it's your truck so if you like it that is all that matters, but imho, the truck looks much better with the body color grille. the truck has NO other chrome on it what so ever so the grille just doesnt fit the image.

does the center section of the chrome grille seperate from the surround? if so try swapping the chrome insert into your stock FX grille's painted surround. I think it would look great.

Default Light and grill

Hello, remove third brake light, use black touch up paint. Paint
Only the inside edge of the fixture with the little applicator. Take
Ur time and be neat. Use two coats.

Yes the orig body color grill looks better, however, it looks great
On any color other than white, IMHO. The best color of these trks
Is candy red IMHO. White works 4 me. I like easy to keep clean.
Thx for comments on my stuff..

Thanks! Ives seen people paint the reflectors and it doesn't look any different. Yours is by far the best.

Default Not the reflectors, Tab

You paint the inside edges of the light fixture itself. Do a
search on this site for "third tailight paint, or "brakelight paint"

You will see lots of pics where members paint the outer "inside"
edge of the light fixture. you have to remove the brake or tail
light from the truck. search and see.
thx

Grille looks like ****, rest of it looks really nice! I've been putting off the tail light edge for a long time.
