    So I have been switching back and forth between two grills which do you think looks better I'm leaning more towards the color matched.

    First is the chrome paramount billet grill.

    This is my modified 2011 color matched grill that I cut the center out of and use the billet out of the other grill. 8unasahu_b8f9f6f60cb306ec25638d38be5c87dc3c019053.jpg3u7y9uvy_8971337b14471752aade0f169bd511ca0085199d.jpg

    What's your opinion I know most here like mesh grills/satoshi but I'm partial to the billet style. Let me know which one yous like better.

    The chrome looks great with the bull bar right below it, but I think the color matched one makes it look pretty clean. But it's whatever one you think looks better man!

    I'm thinking color matched the billet give enough shine to accent the bull bar I think the chrome surround is just to much shine

    ^X2 The chrome almost is too much. Just my opinion and on my old taco I had all chrome thats just a little much with it already being a billet grill. I vote color matched 100%. Its yours and your opinion matters most.

    The only reason I gave the chrome grill a chance was I got a chrome back bumper. Just not wild on a color matched back bumper on the truck I think it fits well tho with the little bit of chrome here and there.

    does turning tires to black wall out count? How bout added snug top rebel.
    I usually like the color matched grill, but on your truck I think the chrome goes with the overall look, so I vote chrome.
