Default Grille shell & front upper bumper cover

Hey guys...

I've been wanting to give some love to my truck recently...I have new headlights/taillights/3rd brake light coming. I have a kickass Saleen grille insert I've yet to see another truck have in person. One thing I hate is the grille surround and upper bumper. I bought the XL model. Too much black, but I heard you can't really paint the textured plastic. I imagine you can sand it for hours on end but I'm not interested in that. I've also had a hard time even hiding these replacements online. I would love a white grill shell and white upper bumper.

Anyway, I'd like to hear some input from you guys. Questions, comments, concerns!

I painted the shell white, the match sucks though...and it doesn't come clean. I just want a factory white surround and bumper dammit lol

I'm going to keep track of this because I've searched everywhere for the grill surround just the surround and have had no luck so I went to ford and they said I would have to spend 200 at the least on the whole grille itself. Mine is cracked and I need a new one just can't see myself spending a lot for a simple little peice cracked on the top left

Thanks! Prices do look good...not very good descriptions though. I see a grill assembly...it says black; paintable...but is it textured or not?

Black paintable means its smooth, not textured.
