    Chris, the grill looks great.

    Can't wait to see the truck with the Relentless Bumper installed. If they "happen" to send it to WR, I'll be sure to take care of it for you.:D

    I think I saw that it was a little different in the sunlight, so I brought it in the garage and took some pics with the flash and saw it under the florescent lights and it was even worse. Its not too bad and I'm sure it'll even out a bit more over time.

    I can't wait to get it either.

    haha, if it goes missing... I'll know where to find it!! And when I do find it, you might be missing your grillcraft and rims :D:duel:

    Color matched grill w/ grillcraft. BHLM and Morimoto Mini HID's Debadged.
    I had the same question. (glad I used search!) My Black Sand Pearl grille I got from Dave and T&C just didn't look right in certain angles in the light. When you look up close it looks identical, but just a little off. Hopefully a few washes and wax will make it better. Plus I'm still waiting on my Grillcraft from the group buy, which I'm hoping will complete the look. *SIGH*

    just about black everything. i don't dig the chrome.

    i've got a buddy who has a sport and the factory grille itself looks a bit off. his is white too so it may be a white thing (sounds racist) haha.

    watch out too for dirt. i don't know if its road grime or what, but his is permanently stained with what looks like dark liquid dirt. just a heads up
