Look real good, @Grumpaw, Again, my favorite part is the hood, but all in all, I think it looks nice.

SideNote: It annoys me to see colored pieces behind a black grill. NOT just your truck, mine is also white, but all vehicles that aren't black. I would paint everything behind the grill FLAT BLACK.

I tried to get a side by side, but the pixels are different.

Now that I'm home on the computer, I can pick out the color difference between the vinyl and the pin striping in some of the pictures. I like it even better.

When they replaced the front end on my 2011, the body shop installed a black plastic piece on the center rad support that it originally didn't have. It was just black cloth tape from the factory. It might be something to look at. Though, the black paint idea isn't a bad one.

Is this grill stock? Mine doesn't have the mesh in the center part, only the 2 vertical openings on the sides. I do have the chrome version though.

Nicely done! If I had a small nit to pick, I'd like to see the hood with the gray brought down the angled sides of the power dome so that it met the edges of the grille. That way, when looking from the front, the dark color wouldn't narrow at the top of the grille, it would stay with the body lines a little better. Overall it still looks great though.

Grill is stock black. Bought the black honeycomb material on Amazon. Size and shape of holes were almost identical to the honeycomb in the outer openings of the grill.
Just cut to size and fab'd some mounts.
