Actually, I used MS-PowerPoint. There is a photo of a white KR with a Platinum grille in the following thread ...

Thanks, The white is a nice look. I think the Caribou bars are a bit too much on mine, but if I were to go with the Platinum Grill then paint Caribou, it would have enough break up in the color.

To each his own. If I was a farmer, rancher or hunter driving over tall growth a fair amount, I'd go with chrome. OTOH, I can repair a painted surface whereas I've never been able to repair chrome (beyond sandblasting it off and painting). Once had a Harley from which I removed many of the chrome parts.
Got an appointment scheduled to get a clear protective wrap on my front bumper. Many guys here get a similar wrap over much of their frontal area.

Chrome is ten times tougher than any paint. I have had both and the painted bumpers always chip badly and then comes rust.
By the way I am a Rancher and was born and raised on a ranch with dirt/gravel roads in Eastern Colorado. And yes chrome has always protected better than paint over raw steel.
I do like the painted look but do about 2000 miles of freeway hauling trailers each month and freeways always produce rock chips and dents in my Diamond plate on the front of the trailers.

Yes sir, I appreciate your talents. The Platinum Grill in Caribou would be greatly appreciated. I think You have the same KR and color scheme with the front hub caps, correct? I love the truck it's not for sure what I want to do with that grill. I thought about a ranch and without the mesh Center and the side surrounds. I'm not worried about the paint I live in the southeast and I'm not a Rancher or farmer.

Whereabouts in the southeast? I'm in southeast VA, and I have an extra grille which has those smaller chrome bars you seek ... it's the extra grille from which I removed the two large chrome bars ... and the Ford oval is gone from it, too. I plan to keep the extra large bars, but I wouldn't mind getting rid of the parts I don't need. My problem is I'm not going to ship this thing. If I do sell, it will be local. I didn't bother offering it when you first mentioned the smaller bars because I assumed you were located out west.
