I got the new grill painted and hardware transferred from the original and ready to install tomorrow.
I'll add pictures once installed.

Installed the grill today and put ceramic coating on it yesterday.

Are those lights in the side of the grill? What are they? DRL, fog, other?

 

[tbalt14]

Yes it has 3 LED projectors on each side. Same grill they put on the Wildtrak X over is Europe and Asia. They are currently wired to come on with high beams but can also wire to come on dimmer with low beams.

Very nice, I saw one in Australia where they put lights all the way across. Its a cool concept.

The one I think you are referring to is called the Night Hawk grill.

Looks really nice. Did you buy a whole new grill with those lights pre-installed or did you take your original grill off and modify it with those lights?

Bought the grill with the lights installed but it was painted all black. I took the grill apart and repainted to match factory colors.

I’m looking at the pictures of the grill before you put it on. Is that the way it came or did you already paint it? It’s hard to tell, at least for me, from the pictures of the grill after putting it on your truck what color it is. Everything to me still looks black but maybe I’m looking at the grill wrong? Can you also link us to the product

The black honeycomb is still black as I bought it. The border and center bar I painted the factory Boulder Grey. It's hard to tell in pictures.

Thanks - now that you explained it I can see it. Great job. How about a link to where you bought it?

I got the grill from Ebay.

What color of Red is that? The only Red I saw available when I ordered mine was the Hot Pepper Red, but it had kind of a "flat tomato orange" look to it.

Yours does not look like that, lighting maybe?

The truck color is Hot Pepper Red, it changes colors depending on light conditions.
