Thinking of a New Grill, anyone used this brand or have pics of it installed???

So I don't want to go out and install a MKM Customs Grill but I would like to make the truck look a little different then the 04 Grill. So I'm wondering has anyone seen or found some real life pictures of these trucks with grills like this one? They all look weird since 99% of them are all PhotoShopped.









I wanted to either keep the Ford logo but it looks like all the aftermarket grills delete the ford emblem.

But basically I'm wondering what it would look like with an all Black Truck, I've never had the Chrome Grill desire but seems they don't seem to make them like this in black for some reason.

I don't like anything that doesn't look OEM. And having bought an aftermarket grille for a FORD van once,

the chrome does not last like OEM. Lucky to look good for a year or so.

And you can always buy a FORD emblem and install it on whatever you buy.

First one is Lincoln-esque
Second one is Chevy-esque

Personally I'm a fan of the OEM look although I did swap my Excursion grille out for a completely chrome SuperDuty Grille.

I'm not a fan of anything that looks remotely Brosephesque. Especially anything along the lines of RBP style. It's like Tapout gear for the automotive world. On an all black truck I'd personally look for something in a "black chrome" style, still get some shine but more subdued.

That works too, and looks good. I'm just not a big chrome guy... Like my old bike, I didn't want to spend 2 hours polishing before heading out. Not that I go for murderd out, I like a little shine to break things up

It's my colors, black and chrome... Now a days easy to keep clean, I just spray S100 on it, hose off and dry with my leaf blower. Ok maybe polish chrome every 6 months.

Yeah Im thinking Ill just tuff it all out and wait until I can pull together a 2013 front end to do that swap. I just dont like the chrome bling bling in your face. LOL, Im just so bored looking at the same front end LOL. Either that or Ill have to go with an 05 grill..

But yes absolutely has to be black, I already want to retint my windows they are not dark enough LOL
