No billet grill

I, like many others, want to replace my grill but I don't want anything in chrome. I'm looking for a black grill for my Lariat Extended. I checked out all the usual URLs and all I can find are Bling, Bling chrome grills. I'd even take the shape of my current grill and have it blackened if someone can point in the right direction.

I figure if Henry wanted Bling on his cars he wouldn't have said 'Any color as long as it's black.'

if you like your currenbt grill but in black check with your dealership about getting a grill from an xLT, same as yours except its black. I agree with the bling bling, those aren't for me either.

Wits End,

Your grille looks good. Does it have a gloss finish? How much was it?

grill replacement

its a replacement,,,you have to take whole front grill assembly off hood(easy),,,then you pry plastic tabs off of insert which holds it into the surrounding frame,,,,follow step by step instructions and replace grill assembly onto hood,,,,maybe about 2 hrs total time,,,bottom grill is a no brainer on installing,,,maybe 10 minutes,,,,good luck
