I have a white 2019 with a chrome package and I am thinking about upgrading the grill to a black raptor grill and maybe eventually a brush guard etc. None of the pictures I see when people make these types of upgrades have the chrome package. My concern is the contrast between white & chrome to the black/matte accessories will look kind of off without doing a full chrome delete (expensive and impractical on the bumpers particularly).

Has anyone done something similar or have pictures for reference?

I wouldn’t do. You got the chrome package for a reason. IMO...the Raptor grills look kinda cheap. Just my opinion.

I wouldn't do it if it was mine. That white and chrome is nice.

I would keep it as is. It would look out of place to me like the pic of the one above. To each their own tho.

I did it, just so you can get an idea.

Did you have your stripes painted or are they wrapped? I have the silver as well and would like to break up the big expanse of silver on the hood.
TIA

I agree there is a lot of silver. I went with vinyl. I did the rear also. And might black out the roof of the cab. Also might add a side design as well. If you look closely at the lines on the hood they say ranger I included a pic.
