    So before i buy a blacked out grille, i got to thinking what would my lunar mist dc look like with lunar mist marker lights and a black grille, instead of black marker lights and black grille. Anybody done this? Pics maybe? Anyone bored enough to photoshop one? Im computer illiterate. Ive done my searching and haven't found squat! Thanks

    Not sure what you mean by lunar mist marker lights. Just the small frame around it?
    With blacked out grill do you mean the grill surround being black instead of chrome?
    My truck is color matched - lunar mist around the lights and lunar mist grill, so I can't really tell, but I think it would be okay. When I bought my new marker lights they were black, and that did not look good with the color matched grill. I had to paint them lunar mist to match the grill. The other way around would look better, but I would say all black would be the best. Why are you going to a black grill?

    I mean the trim around the lights. Silver trim on the marker lights, and black grille. I have chrome and can't stand it

    I'm all for color matched.

    You can buy lunar mist corner lights then just paint your grille surround lunar mist and leave the interior of the grille black.

    IMO that would look best.

    Albeit chrome corner lights, you get the point. Just squint a little and it'll look like lunar mist

    I have looked around a little but could not find anything yet. I know there are guys here who have used bedliner on their grills, and others have plastidipped them, but I don't see one with lunar mist marker lights.
    Anyway, looking at it, I don't think it will look right mixed up. Either all color matched or all black. Otherwise it just doesn't flow right.

    Okay, Madjik_Man found what I was looking for. It doesn't look too bad, but I would prefer the same color on both.

    Thats more like it! At first i thought it was silver not chrome. Too bad the hood is black. But it doesn't look too bad.

    Why mix and match? Just go for an all black grill with black corners or all lunar must with matched corners. Looks better in my opinion but that just my .02
