Can you guys with black trucks post more pics of your full truck?
i want to see how the grill looks with the rest of the truck.
how are you guys wiring the amber lights?
i always keep my lights in auto mode... I think I only want the amber when my actual lights (heads and tails) come on, I don’t think I want the amber on 100% of the time.
thoughts?
hey man, I bought the same one!
did you leave it the grayish color or paint it black? Hard to tell in your pics.’
I have a black truck too and wondering if the grey will look weird and if I should get it painted black to match?
My truck is a 2015 Tuxedo Black also. I installed the Paramount Raptor Style Grille a few weeks ago, in charcoal Grey. I ordered on Amazon, and wound up receiving black "F" and "R" letters...I thought I had ordered charcoal grey ones, but anyway, got black. I decided to leave most of the Grille grey and PlastiDipped the FORD lettering black. I like the look. I am planning on pulling the trigger on a set of Gloss Black FORD overlays from Inshane Designs, so it keys off against the black paint. Right now, the front end is all kind of matte. Whats your thoughts? Really like the pics above of a few others who have done FORD overlays. Looks great!

can you post or pm more pic of your truck/grill?
front.side shots, I’d like to be able to see the grill and entire truck.
i think it looks good. What color overlays would you get?
i just ordered this grill, and now already debating on replacing the amber lights with better ones, and possibly painting to match or a matte black. I am on the fence about the greyish.
what was the quality of the wiring harness? Did you use it or wire it yourself?

Sure! Will PM you some pics tomorrow, once a take a few..lol.. I would be looking at Gloss Black FORD overlays, that would look the same as the color of the paint on the truck (minus the metallic). I used the included harness, with the Paramount, it's only a power and ground wire, no harness that plugs into anything. Some other brands come with a harness that plugs into your headlight, no wiring needed. This one, I just tapped into the parking light, on the top corner of my passenger side headlight. Proper splice connectors and lots of electrical tape, and it was a cinch. No issues. I think the grey gives a bit of contrast. I saw a pic of an identical truck to mine on Google, and you could hardly tell there was a grille on the truck, besides full black that blended in with the rest of the truck so much, it had no contrast. It was so black, you could hardly make out the letters FORD. To each his own though, as to what you like. A YouTuber I watch all the time (AutoVlog) has the same year and color F150 and did the identical grille, leaving it grey and had the gloss black overlays put on, really looks great, and inspired me to go the similar route.
