Added these Recon heads/tails/3rd brake last thursday as a Xmas present to myself. The truck came with the black 3bar XL grille but I saw this one for $100 bucks locally and couldn't pass on it. After adding new wheels and the lights, I'm leaning toward PTM the outside edge of the black grille. I've already got paint from automotivetouchup, but can't decide if I want to paint the black grille or sell it. Anyone have a black 3 bar grille they have painted? Suggestions? Opinions?
Thanks

Here's links to a few pics with the new lights, I love em.

This what I did. Bought a used surround, had it color matched and installed a billet grille. I like your lights and might do the same.

Your truck looks awesome! A ptm or black grille would look sick.

looks good appdawg.

Thanks country, I'm going to prime the outer edge of the black 3 bar and paint it hopefully sometime this week. I also need to figure out how to get that valance off right under the grille and paint it as well. I'll post some pics once done.
