I have a 13 white qc express. I'm wanting to change up grill. Should I black out crosshairs, entire surround or leave it color matched? Also wheels are going to be blacked out. Any suggestions

Take a look around the photo section for some ideas...with the blacked out wheels, I personally like the look of a blacked out grill too on the express.

I found a great deflector. ProtectorAVS Aeroskin Hood Protector my brother has one on his ecopoop. Looks Great only comes in chrome and black. That's one reason I'm wanting to paint my grill. I think the black deflector would look like crap but if grill was black then it'd be better. Want a black grill anyways. Kill two birds with one stone I guess

I'd black out just the center portion of the grill.

That all black grille would look sweet on a white truck! :********:

I agree with Bailey! I would go all black for the grille. That would look awesome IMO.

Ha by reading everybody's posts sounds like I'm more on the fence than ever lol. So what I'm thinking is start with crosshairs. Put it on and see what I think. Then do entire surround. Ill take pics and see what I end up with. Knowing my luck it'll end up still color matched but what better way to spend a saturday
