Thanks for that pic. This is exactly what I’m gonna do to mine. Same colors. Looks really sharp.

That one looks "glossier" than the one from CT Joe. What does everyone else think?

Just finished installing mine, I swear to god I was going to just pull the original one off the front of the truck because of the stupid tabs. But I eventually got it after a few scrapped knuckles. Looks great, goes on in no time. No pics as there are a few already here with the same truck color already.

If you're talking about mine, I painted it gloss black using Autoflex Express coatings.
I was and thank you.

I'm going to eventually get one of these grills but I'm still trying to decide if I should paint it Black or Magnetic.

I only broke one side tab on the original grill. I had no problem after I rewatched JoshMills’ video, and replicated using a stubby screwdriver on the INSIDE of the tabs.

Ordered yesterday and will be here on Monday. I have never been a fan of chrome and I have been trying to like the Lariat's chrome grill but it has bugged me. Not a chrome fan at all and this should solve that little pet peeve.

On a side note ..... I love my Ranger and I am really digging the attitude, knowledge sharing and kind folks on this forum. There's just one thing that I hate about it tho......this forum is costing me too much money!!! :)

I'm not a fan of chrome either. Are you going to have him paint it?

I agree with you about this forum but I would say it's saved me money as well. Learning from other's mistakes or people who are willing to go first, seeing pics of things actually on the truck, which vendors are good or bad, etc. have probably all saved me some money.

Nope on the paint, I am keeping it as is. It matches the rest of the truck's accents i.e. rear bumper top, lower mirror supports, the fog light recessed area, step bars etc. I like the darked out grill scheme. I have a Lightening Blue truck with color matched bumpers and feel that this grill will get rid of the "bling look" that I feel accompanies the chrome grill.

I hear ya on the saving money and learning part and couldn't agree more. I was being more tongue in cheek with my comment on spending money.
