Default Need recommendations on grille

Hey guys, hope everyone had a great 4th!

I am looking for a new grille but curious on what you guys would do.

Here is how my truck sits right now.

1. Saleen grille if you can find one.
2. Fx2 grille
3. Harley grille

I like oem grilles over most of the aftermarket ones. Hopes this helps.

I gave mine a different look by plastidipping the whole thing black, I know its already black but I did the emblem too and didnt want it to look different. Then I ordered a vinyl and threw that one. I think it looks pretty good, for now. It can alway be changed by peeling off the dip.


What kind of guard is that? Does it attach where the tow hook are

I like the look of the blue on the emblem, matches your truck perfectly.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm leaning toward the saleen grille.

Benny - do you have pics of the transformation?

Big - yeah that's the main reason I haven't changed it yet but I think it's time for something new.

Maybe a different grille that keeps the oval?
