    Blacked out cheese grater > pro grill. Seriously though, now that it's been a year, the stock or/sport grill has grown on me quite a bit.

    Never been a fan of chrome grills or chrome for that matter. Especially on a truck. The SR5 grill look so much better than the OR and Sport.

    Pop-n-lock tailgate. New radio knobs. Rear step.
    I actually think the stock chrome grill looks good on the sport models. As for me, if I could blow money on junk for my OR I'd probably get the Pro grill to keep the OEM look.

    I wish I can keep both and change them like underwear but ultimately pro won me over

    This is the exact setup I'm hoping to do. Looks great with the pro grill!

    Working on it.
    The Bro grill is where it's at. It is a damn good looking grill plus it wears extremely well being plastic. Just my 2 pennies.

    I went Pro Grille on my Silver OR. The grille just goes with the silver color and black fender flares. To me it just seems to go with the truck. Some colors look better with the BAMF.

    I like both actually, but I wanted to stand out and have a grill that most people won't have in my area. Most people would not spend 600+ on a grill.

    I thought we settled this already... BAMF all day long, and twice on Sunday.

    I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion, y'alls is just wrong.

    I still can't believe I spent what I did on that grill, even at a discounted cost, plus shipping.... could've had a winch. Oh well, still love the look!

    Whenever I wash the truck I use a light coat of Fluid Film on a rag and wipe my grill, bumpers & sliders down. So far I have zero rust issues with my BAMF and have had it since it was first released. I did add the rubber grommets and coated the back side with fluid film when it was removed which helped.

    Between the two choices, I'd pick BAMF over pro any day.. But my choice was neither. I ended up going with dbcustomz, on my BBP TRD Sport. Color matched back plate & outer screws around the edge too.
