Mine is the same as the one shown in post #11 above. I only want the two large bars white, and I prefer to leave the smaller bars alone because they match the bumper.

Thanks for taking the time to prepare & post that image. You probably SAVED me some $$$ because I've now decided to stay the course and go white. Gonna' go see a shop in Chesapeake next week about wrapping those bars in white.

I think because they are a pain to wash and dry. I found that out the first time I washed my truck.

Maybe I'm crazy but I really like the standard XLT grill better with the open pockets.

Go check out Kelderman's site, they have some nice grills, but pricey.

2017-2018 F250 & F350 Grilles

I did some photoshop of one of their grills on xxxsherpa's truck.

That doesn't make you crazy ... that's just your personal preference. Mine is to not buy any of those afternarket grilles (Yuk!).

Thanks to VTBULLDOG's help, I proceeded with my color change. Got a hold of an extra Lariat grille via Craigslist and had the chrome bars wrapped, not painted. Swapped them out today. My KR is Oxford White and finding a wrap close to this tint was fairly easy, but I imagine wrapping may not be an option for some of the other colors. If the wrapping doesn't hold up well to road debris, I can get the other bars painted and covered with a clear protective wrap. ThisGuysDecals.com wrapped them in Chesapeake, VA.

I just wanted to take a moment and personally thank you for doing what you do for these forum members. You offer your talents to anyone who wants it and you don’t ever get lazy with it and do a bad job photoshopping it, it looks almost flawless every time. Very few people will do that for strangers on the internet and I would like to thank you on behalf of mysel and all other forum members.
