I am considering painting the grille black and leaving the bowtie chrome. I know it kinda looks like something RBP would make, but what do you guys think? (BTW, this is a photshop image, I haven't done it yet)

That looks good.
Just a thought of mine though.
Have you thought of painting it black, and leaving the big bars silver. Would break up the solid black some.

looks real good. i think you should pop out the chrome trim piece in the hood and paint that black to.

Like that. You think about doing any of the bumper also? And is that the color of black you would do or would it match the trucks paint color?

I really like what you were doing and actually was planning on doing something similar with my grille rather than spending the $$$ on the RBP one (http://rollingbigpower.com/products/product_info.php?cPath=25_65&products_id=79) let me know how it was to do, was thinking of using this grille http://www.stylintrucks.com/parts.aspx?category|category_root|-25=Exterior&category|cat_-25|148=Grilles&canned_results_trigger=&partfamilyid=3525 and painting the border to match the body and the rest black

yeah I wasnt sure if there were chrome or stainless or what, so I figured silver would be a good term. The all black pic looks good but I think it needs a little somthing to set it off.

Both the pics in post #21 and #25 are awesome. I don't know which I like better. I think I'd lean towards #25, but wouldn't be ashamed to have #21 either.

I would go for painting the whole front end. I'm painting my grill in a week or two and was thinking about doing my bumpers too.

Either one of the last ones looks SICK! I love black, wish I had more time to properly take care of one! One of the other guys on here had the Anzo Black Halo lights on a truck with the all black front end and it was probably the baddest new LMM I've seen by far. Try a search for the halo lights and check it out. Post up pics when you do it.

Yeah...you're bumper looks sweet! If I do the bumper, I'll probably do the top chrome hood guard too.

It's a Precision Billet...

Do you like the grill? Sorry to take it off topic I think if you did the side caps and top piece it would make things flow good if your going to keep the billet chrome looking the bumper kinda ties in a bit. I have seen that done and like it alot. I just have a look I am shooting for with my truck and almost have the outside done then I can get to work on my motor.

Do the top chrome piece under the hood now and call it good. Looks great!

IMO I think this brings the whole front end together and brings that billet bowtie out more. Looks awesome. Black it out!
