Default What to do with grill?

I have a 2010 xlt chrome 3 bar grill. Just trying to figure out what to do with the grill for now till I save up for a raptors grill. Any suggestions on paint?

If you want to try and sell it when you upgrade, then check out one of the Plastidip threads on here. The product is easy to work with and can be pealed off at a later date leaving no damage to the surface under it. You can also find it in many colors now if you don't want to just go black.


Good luck,

I put some black vinyl tape over the vertical bars on the 3 bar and I think it looks 100% better. Plus it took like 10 minutes.

I'm just trying to cover the chrome. White plastidip might work and do the oval and inserts the same gray color possibly. I dunno, would that be to much white?

Leave it alone until you get the one you want?
