Need Your Opinion...

I have 06 XL that I now have mechanically sound... So I have turned to sprucing her up alittle. Been doing things like new seats etc... Today I picked up front and rear bumpers from a Lariat front bumper is chrome and painted white. got a great deal on both bumpers.... I thought she looked pretty good even with the XL trim package... What do you guys think? Should I keep the black grill or move to a Chrome one? Just curious....

Thanks

Daniel

The chrome grill would match the chrome bumper allot better, or at least in my opinion.

anything is better than the black plastic IMO. i think chrome grille is cool, but i think painted grille, painted mirriors, and painted door handles would look cool to. just a though tho.

i like the chrome grilles.

What about putting the accent pieces in the black grill. I saw several online that looked great.

I don't know yet. They are pricey! I've seen grill and lights together. The lights don't look bad IMHO. Not trying to dress it up too much it is just a work truck. Lol.

Hey, don't burst our bubble...it's fun to spend someone else' money. I'm not a fan of the XL recessed headlights...but that's just me. The nice thing about these trucks is you've got almost 10 years ('99-'07) and several different styles of front ends you can choose from.
