Think the Platinum lights differ from Lariat and that might cause an issue?

I want to do the same (swap grills). If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that hood protector? That's sharp.

Chrome delete with color match cover kits

There are some fellas out there that offer full color matched kits to cover the chrome. Looks like a fair project but anyone can do it with a little patience and a case of beer. I'll see if I can find the outfit's name and add for you.

Here ya go. Ecological on Real Trucks.com

That is spending money to make money 🤑

I have had my sights set for a while on a more "reasonable" variation, although still excessive - like these:

That's a 150 and you know it... =)

To the OP, I get it. I really wanted the black package on my new truck, but some options were only available with the plus package that forces acres of chrome on you...
On the other hand, it's better than one of the explorer packages on you that forces a glass roof if you want some options...

We have a Weber grill that we bought in 1999 and still works grate. About 10 years in the "flavorizer" bars were getting toasted, so I ordered new ones, replaced the enameled grates with stainless and ordered new burners, being unsure how much longer they'd be available. Still have the new burners... Doesn't look so new anymore - the cast aluminum tub is chalky and there's a bit of rust on some of the steel framework. Also, the igniters only last a year or two so I just don't bother replacing them and use a butane lighter.

For those interested, I put a (food) grilling threat up in the non-automotive section so it will be easier to keep on track for the OP
