Grill guards. Who's got one

Taking delivery of my f250 next week. Past 2 superduties I've replaced the bumpers with road armor or Frontier. This truck however is race red with the chrome package and although it's hard to beat the abuse an aftermarket bumper will endure. I'm wanting a chrome grill guard. Who has one. Also does it work with tow hooks and the 360 camera. Thanks

I am also getting a grill guard for my 250 in chrome only thing I can find is a Westin HDx grill guard that's in polished stainless steel and I'm not sure about the cameras or sensors I had one on my Denali HD that didn't work with the sensors it's pretty annoying when they don't stop beeping or vibrating at red lights so I just cut them off

Yes I've seen that one too and I like the stainless. Problem is that there is very few to no pictures of it installed. I even called westin and they pointed me towards their installation pdf which has a picture. I didn't ask would it work with a camera. I assume not though

I plan to go Road Armor for mine. I am ordering direct from them so I can powder coat it the color I want.

The Road Armor one is nice, and you might be able to take it to a chrome shop and have them chrome it.

Post up some pictures of your truck, and a picture of the bumper or grill guard, and I can photoshop them together. Also, please have each picture the largest size possible which will make a better picture.

Speaking of pics. Road Armor's webpage has a race red truck as their 2017 Superduty. Just so happens it is not painted yet, and almost looks chrome on the truck.

I looked it up. Looks good, I see it being a problem with the camera but I'm going to call to see.

I did some photoshop so you guys can get an idea of the color match.

I think I'll call westin again and see if they will be making one for the front camera compatibility

That one looks really good. I called and asked about the camera interference. They said in 360 mode it doesn't bother the view that much but in front mode there was blockage. Don't know how 1 can work without the other. Does your truck have the 360 camera option
