Grill options???

i'm looking at doing something with the stock grill. I've already painted the gray section a nice flat black, but I want it to be different from most other super duty on the road. I'm looking for a black grill to go with my blacked out theme. but i don't mind a little chrome. i'm also not trying to spend $600+ for a freakin RBP grill. not a fan of them anyway.

Here's a couple links i found to ones i'm considering and wanting everyone's opinion on it. Positive or negative, let me have it. also. please feel free to posts pic or links of ones to consider.

1999-2004 Ford F-250 Vertical Billet Grille-Black By Spec D HG-F25099JMVT

I have the same color, year and everything as you and I took the grille off an 01 excursion and painted it the same black as the trucks. I really like the grille now that its color matched. Never seen anyone else who has done this other than me-- although I'm sure someone has

My vote would be for the first link. The second link grill I think would be harder to clean.

What if you got an 05 grille and got it painted to match the gold/brown on the bottom of your truck? no idea how this would look just throwing ideas out there

Now that is an idea. If i did that though i dont think it would look right unless i paintd the lower black part of my bumpers as well.

If i had the money, what id love to do is get colormatched Tan Line-X on both bumpers, grill, rocker panels and bedcaps amd fender flares after i get them.
