Picked this up today for $100 on Craigslist.
Not the same color as my 2017, but I can paint this myself better than my chrome grill.

I'm going to call tomorrow to get the paint formula for PRV paint code and get a half of a pint. Scuff this up and paint and clear it. Also, going to paint the honeycomb black and clear it as well so it's glossy and a true black.7878608a90ed3e66e8a54b2de2d8765b.jpg416363b5761c76322f27380bee07196c.jpgb4989cc9d95d6640c2f2ef04f81babf7.jpg

You gonna do something with the bumper too? Would look a lot better IMO if it and the headlights weren't so bright. They stand out big time against the color matched grill.

It's crazy how much a color match grill can change the appearance. Good job.

Do the chrome inserts come out of your stock grill ? If they do you should sell them to me cheap...lol

Top pic is my truck. Pulled the grille out last night and seperated the inserts. Going to dechrome and colormatch the surround black and leave the inserts chrome. Hoping it looks something like bottom pic.
