I'll probably have to order the black one then, perhaps sell the chrome one.

Anyone need a brand new chrome grille

Were you able to swap out the grill with the front bumper in place? Would love to put a black one on mine but if I need to do anything with the front bumper I'll just leave it as is. When spec'ing my build I couldn't bring myself to pay for the black bumper swap after paying for the chrome upgrade as part of the Ford van package. Maybe I'll Plati-Dip mine if the grill is easy to remove.

Never underestimate the power of Plasti-Dip!

I dipped my front grille on V5 over a year ago to see how it would hold up, its doing well! One little chip, not bad for such a big piece.

Yes, the Aluminess bumper was installed when I did the swap. No trouble.
