    OK, what do you guys think about this grill? The photo was done using photoshop, so, it's not actually my grill.

    I like the white paint matched portion of the grille. I dont like too much black.

    But it looks hot.

    I like the storm trooper look. I'd go for it. But instead of a matte surround I would do a gloss.

    Black insert, yes.

    Black surround, No. IMO white looks better.

    Like this, one of my customers trucks, his grill insert isn't sweet like yours though;

    I was looking at that grill as well, it looks rad but I'd prefer a color matched bezel. If that isn't a big deal for you OP I say get it:headbang:

    White looks great too! But the black grill makes the truck to look tougher. But it's just a matter of taste! :thumbsup:
