The stock one....For awhile, I had one of the Roush uppers and one of the FOMOCO466 lower grilles installed. It looked nice, but then I realized that 3 out of 5 trucks that passed me had the same upper grille.
I removed and sold that setup and went back to the stock honeycomb grill. With it, I'm only seeing 2 out of 5 trucks with a stock grille, and most have the stock bar type grille, making the honeycomb a kind of unique in my parts.
Plus the honeycomb looks to allows more air flow; less restrictive then the rest.

Thank you. I have noticed some head lights are black on the inside vs a more clear look. Is that true or am i seeing things that arent there? If it is legit who makes the better head light out there.

Yea those are the harley version of the headlights as well. Ebay has a bunch of blacked housing headlights as well that have the clear side marker instead of the orange.
Take a look in the vendor section for tasca parts, he is selling genuine HD headlights i belive for pretty good price.
The Fx2 trucks also have darker grey headlights. they look good on some colors that black might be a little too dark for but i havent really seen any of those for sale anywhere.

More spendy but they are genuine.

You are the man. Im coming from a 1990 f150 xlt. It wa stime to get a newer one. I dont need any creature comforts but looks mean a lot to me. I bought a work truck with the V8 for extra power and some rumble. wouldnt mind making the outside nicer.

Yea a good thing to do if you get the cheaper headlights is run a nice bead of sealant around the seam of the housing. a lot of guys find that they fog up really bad, the sealant should fix that problem.
