I have been looking at that one. How hard/easy was it to install?

If you take your time to remove your old grill insert ( to prevent breaking any of the mounting tabs ) it should only take about half a hour. I think it's the easiest change to do to your truck, with amazing results. I can't even count how many compliments I've gotten about the grill in the few months it's been on the truck. Highly recommended !

StormTrooper look is about the cleanest look!!! Have 2 buddies with Jeeps, with PTM White hardtops and black rims, or powdercoated stock rims, and window tint. They look so mean. Haven't seen a truck done like it. I have an white 08 Lariat (Chrome package), so can't do it, but the black on white looks so clean. Can't wait to see pics.

I have/had the chrome. It can be painted just has to be prepped properly. A lot of places will tell you they can't paint chrome because they are lazy and don't want to put the work in. I will post pics after I get it.

Yeah. I just meant I like the chrome and didnt want to change it all to black, will do it on my jeep or play vehicles.. But you are hitting on another subject I've posted about (chrome handles and mirror). So I will talk to a few buddies and another shop or 2. Yeah, post pics.. Going to look sweet!!!
