Do it. Parts like that only go up in price as the model changes next year.

Nothing to lose.

I would strongly recommend that you avoid purchasing one.

Only downside is you lose all the chrome. Oh wait...

When you swap grilles, I would strongly suggest that you trade headlights with me. My standard LED for your BAP LED.

Thats the main reason I went bap over Lariat sport. Smoked lights. Lower $ didn't hurt. Well and my wife didn't like the L/S wheels. (I did. Would love a pair for my winter wheels)

I always find it odd that the sport package wouldnt have the grill and side emblems match the body paint...seeing a white, silver or red truck with the side emblems in black just looks odd to me...just as my truck is black as everything else is, I wonder if i should not of done the sport pack and just got a white truck

Downside to BAP? None. It’s all subjective. Do what pleases you. I love the look.

I think chrome or body color is preferable to me especially with silver. The black side emblems look terrible to me and black makes them illegible. I would definitely go with a color matched sport grille over the black. Just not a fan of the whole black out thing myself.

Tsubakihara,
If you do want to get rid of it, I'm in No Cal.
Just letting you know.

i like the bap on mine since its the rapid red.

it was a choice of a kr or the lariat with the bap. kr had halogens and looked crappy next to the lariat imo...if the kr had been rapid red well we may be talking about another truck
i chose the bap for the LED headlights the platinum next to it at the lot was black and it looked AFU for some reason.

they should allow power running board with bap as well. the running boards imo are ugly, but again my last 3 vehicles had power deploy and hide running boards
