If my truck was white I would get a grill like the black one and paint only the grill white. When I got my grill it was argent grey and I had it painted black to match my truck.

All you have to do is get an XLT grill and paint it white. The grills are like 40.00 and its costs about 30.00 to paint one.

I suppose that is easier than painting the whole truck

I just sent him an email telling him to send me option2...

I guess if I really don't like it I can just sell it to one of you guys since you all like it so much.

Yea... good idea, but the guy only has black in that style
he has white on other styles and chrome in another different style.

I do want some black.

What I think I am going to do is get an aftermarket bumper with brush guard and paint is the tan/gold color. This will help to offset some of the black.

I like the 05+ style and am working on gathering the parts for it. I am gonna back the grill with expanded metal though to keep with the EB style.

If it was mine, and I was getting the ranch hand style bumper and grill guard, I would just keep the original one and maybe paint the chrome black to match the lights/look. As for your posted choices, I voted for option 2.

I voted the first one CC cause it just looks like it matches the other choices you've made better, like the lights and in general other posts and things you've said. It looks more like you to me I guess LOL. I on the other hand like the second one and was wondering if you could tell me where you found it. Thanks!
