2011+ ugly grill fixes
I've been shopping for a superduty, and I really like the powertrain options on the 2011+ trucks but their grills are so ugly....
What have you guys done or seen to improve the looks of the 2011+ trucks?
Pics or links will be appreciated!

I like my big ole honking chrome plastic mass of grill upfront of the Superduty. However, I did add a set of inserts to the grill itself and a larger exterior grill protector as shown in the photo.
I guess another option would be to drive around in reverse more often....LOL!!!

Now, it's only been done for about three months and I can see all kinds of little chips so SANDING THE CHROME DIDN'T WORK FOR ME!!! Either have the chrome bead blasted off or buy a paintable grill surround - FOR SURE!

It does look good. I nice clean look.
I been thinking of doing some of my chrome in black bedliner spray. My step bars will be done first as they are starting to pit. Then maybe the grill later. I have had a lot of success with the rattle can bed liner on other projects.

Yeah I was thinking the same, and you could probably easily find someone to trade with.
