looks good I am looking at the same mod. How much did it end up costing you to change it?

Why didn't you go with a painted grille surround?

Btw- i did the fx2 grille on my fx4, looks great with the grille painted accent color and the surround painted body color.

Every thread has it's wise guy...

Those sweet angles are with a Treo Phone in one hand and holding my dinner and drink in the other hand. Still better than 99% of some of the photos I see on here.


LOL, in all seriousness...I bought the grill without the surround on the bay and FX2 grilles have taken a big hike in cost lately. I want a painted surround and or/paint the grille body color or gloss black. Haven't quite thought it over yet. I am thinking of painting the honeycomb to match as well to have to switch out with.

just quoting you in another thread.

You do a good job with your photos. Its not hard to get a good looking shot, some guys just don't have the 'vision' to see the angle. Just so the point isn't misunderstood- The other guy's thread was about his truck, not his pics.

But anyways- I bought the FX2 grille and surround through my shop discount at the Stealership, and I think it was about 165 total? Can't remember though. I'll post a pic here in a bit. But it probably won't be an 'artsy' pic because all I care about is showing you what the grille looks like.

O I know you meant no harm. Thats why I was picking back. I rarely get worked up over forum dialog thats for sure. Life is too short to let friendly pokes get you panties in a wad for sure. I bought the grill off ebay so it was a used piece, but the FX2 grill is now up there in price through the internet retail outlets and 80 bucks more at the local stealership.

As for the angles, the camera phone shots are well...just that camera phones lol. I will take some nicer ones in the daytime probably.

I've considered a similar grille, but for nothing in return other than looks, the honey comb grill looks good enough to me.
If I had the FX4 or XL grille, I'd try it.

Looks good!
