Blackout grill

Anyone change the chrome grill for a blacked out one? Not a big fan of the chrome grill but looking at trucks and one has the chrome package. I would like to change it to the black package grill. Thoughts. Thanks.

A local graphics shop has posted photos they did wrapping a chrome grille on a Chevy to match the white on the rest of the truck.
So wrapping is a possibility if a suitable color replacement is expensive or difficult to find.

I did the exact opposite, I changed out my black tremor grille to the satin aluminum grill.

I had to buy the chrome ford badge too.

in the end, I am happy with the satin aluminum grill.

that’s the one I’m looking for. The blackout grille doesn’t mesh well with the headlights IMO

the satin grilles just flow so nice. Thanks for the part #

Replaced my XLT chrome grille with the XL (work truck) black version. Same exact design but chrome eliminated. I also replaced the oval with the black/smoke gray badge. It's simple but I like the look.
Grille part number: PC3Z-8200-AB

I saw a thread a while back where they blacked out the fangs. I searched and didn't find and was hoping to get a response from them. Thanks for all the input.

Those honeycombs are much bigger than the 2000 F-150 I have, so they may not have the same issue, they are a royal pain in the rear to clean bugs, pollen, mud out of them.

They look great, but PTSD on the cleaning is creeping up.
