Are the front grills interchangable?
My delima. I know im getting a fx4 cuz i cannot get the options i like in the XLT. I wont bump up to Lariat due to the wood grain. So when i get my FX4 can i simply change out the front grill. I looked at the dealer and it looks to be bolted on but im not sure. If not maybe i can swap hoods with someone somewhere.

Just wonder, why would you want the chrome grille, while every other aspect of the FX4 is color keyed? Personally, and this is just me, I dislike when you see the entire truck color matched, but then only the door handles and mirrors and small items have chrome. Think the chrome grille would look out of place with all the other pieces being color matched.

And I agree with the other poster on the black chrome idea, the current grille in Black Chrome with matching taillights would look incredible.

Change is good, but only if it is a change for the better.
Bry,
You and I have similar thoughts. I want the stitched dash, cooled seats, and the fold down arm rest in the back of the super crew that is only found on the Lariat and above. I spoke to my dealer yesterday, and he informed me that I could change out the wood grain (I hate the light wood grain in the lariat) with the inserts that I like (FX4). They can change anything you want, you just have to be willing to pay the price for it.
And yes, you CAN change out the front grill (it happens to be the same size as those on Fords vans.. and people who dont like the black on the vans change to the chrome). It's a part in the 300 dollar range.

If the truck has a monochrome look, w bumpers etc, should keep that going.

hey, I thought of another idea for you. There's a company (CCI) that sells chrome overlay grilles, they stick-on over top of the factory center grille. They make one for the 04-08 FX4 H-bar style grille. You can try to contact them and see if they will be making one for the new 09 FX4 bar grille. I think that would look cool with the painted surround piece of the FX4, and saves the hassle of trying to swap/find another grille.
here's one website that sells them but I don't see anything for 09 yet:
