Default New grille, de-chroming
In my continued effort to banish all chrome from my truck, I just replaced the stock honeycomb grille and chrome Ford emblem. I always liked the mesh-type grilles, so I went with all black and added a black V8 emblem from a Mustang. I need to take it back off and paint the inner supports for the grill surround black so they aren't so visible, but I really like the look.

Looks awesome, you need bigger 6" lights though. It'll fill it out more and give it more of a mustang look

I think you're right. The ones in there now are just lights I had lying around in the garage.
