Leave it stock! Seems every 2nd truck I see nowadays has a billit grill; either black or shiny.

Another consideration becomes air flow through the grill; maybe you don't have overheating, but the Air Conditioner efficincy suffers, especially during idle conditions, as some of these grills make it difficult for air to easily pass through; restrictive. Choose carefully, as this is where "function" has to beat "looks".

The stock grills become the "unique" look now IMO.

Yeah up here in Canada (Manitoba), I havent seen another f150 with the Saleen grill. Almost everyone leaves their grill stock. Or rockstar.

No. It means I am going all white and black. Black rims and accents. The bumpers are gonna be PTM the white.
