I sold my stock big horn grille with chrome horizontals for like $75. I bought a chrome honeychrome grille for $125. Those are just for something to reference with.

First time poster but have lurked for the past few months. I may be interested if you haven't sold it yet.

I would assume it would fit a 2010.

Also, from the pics does it really look more flat than black chrome? I hate the chrome bits on my truck so will be looking to black them out but not too black.

Thanks!

Ya , it actually turned out good it just didnt look right on my truck, I was going for a dark look so I used quite a few coats, at 2-3 coats it almost looked bluish chrome which was pretty cool but not what I wanted.

rome look, I was going to do my factory twenties with it, I don't know if bluish Chrome would look very good, I don't really like the totally blacked out look, but I wanted something to tone down the Chrome.

Attack em' with a scotchbrite pad, will make them looked like brushed aluminum.

Honestly I wouldnt mess with wheels unless you know exactly what the turn out will be. My gamble wasnt as expensive as screwing up a set of wheels will be, which actually turned out for the better cause I love my K2 grille. Hait to rain on ya , but replacing a grille was alot easier to swallow then replacing wheels will be.
