Default 2016 grill swap

I have a 2016 xl sport. I don't like the look of the grill and was wondering if something like a lariat sport grill will mount in place without modification?


XL Sport grill



Lariat sport grill I would prefer

You're painting the Lariat grill silver to match? If so, I'd love to see pics of it on the truck once installed.

I looked at some of those aftermarket, then I reminded myself that I have an XL and it will make no sense to me to spend that kind of money on an XL. I like some of the factory grills and I Believe that will be a simple and inexpensive way to make my truck look a lot better

Keep an eye on the classifieds. Many times good deals can be had.

No affiliation, but this one might be a winner for $100

Not bad. I'm hoping for the lariat sport, that one posted is my second option. I'm still figuring out how to navigate this forum. Gotta find the classifieds, and I'm not finding a short cut to my threads

gstout61 there's nothing wrong with spending a little change on your XL. I bought my Lariat grill off Quirk Parts. Installed it and I love it.

I say have it painted to match your truck and you'll love it. My two cents

Not sure why you would go through the trouble. Those two grills look very similar to me. An XLT Sport grill would look better IMO. Ebay usually has new Take-offs for good prices.
