i bought a nice excursion grille off ebay for 45 bucks.. I like it and it made the truck look ten times better, i think anyways.

I dont like the billet ones either. You should beable to take that stock one you have and do the brake fluid trick and get the paint off and make it all chrome. Mine was like that. Stock grill but all chrome and it looked awesome. Here is my grill.

Yeah, that does look better! I think an '05 would look even sweeter on there, but thats just me. If I didnt have a huge ranch hand replacement, I would do it also.

Its like the trick for turning your emblems on the fenders and doors chrome. All the black on them is just paint over a chrome plastic emblem. So is the grill. The entire grill is like the outer edge but they just paint the middle gray. Now, I didnt do my grill someone else did, but they say that using brake fluid and a rag you can lift the paint off the chrome plastic underneath and then it will be all chrome. Theres a writeup about the emblems on here somewhere.

I've read about using acetone on the emblems. Seems like brake fluid might make you stop better though being on the grill and all .
