Definitely black!!
 






Go with black. Not many people do the black billets. I drive around here in utah and a lot of cars have chrome billets :( I am one of the only 2 explorers out here in Ogden with a billet grille.
Here's how my X looks with a polished billet grille...I got the pair of mine for $40 on ebay :D I was wanting a black billet grille but they are so darn expenisve! :eek: So I comprimised and got the 2 grilles for the price of the lower black grille. Get the fog inserts too. I am getting those eventually.

I like your's icecube and yeah i was thinking chrome at first then i was like i have a black bull bar so it would probably look better having a black billet but the cheapest one i can find is 107.00 on ebay do you guys think it's worth it??? Thanks again for the quick feedback.
 






If thats what you really want, then yes. I was looking at one for the same price and was thinking is it worth that much...I said no. Seems way to much considering my 2 billet grilles were as much as 1 black billet bumper insert for the 02-05's.
 






Yeah i here you and i have to consider my x is getting older mileage wise and should i just save my money for other bills vs. the car im closing in on 136,000 miles lol and knock on wood no problems....

Black :thumbsup:

chrome looks RICE*

And for all...
My grille isn't chrome and doesn't look ricey. Mine's polished front with black powder coating. Just looks chrome 'cause of the sun light. I don't think there's a problem with a polished/chrome billet grille, cause my old grille was chrome and didn't look good on the X.
Also the 4th gens are using a chrome type billet grille or similar. Looks good on those X's.

Tektoo2....
that grille you have a black powder coated with a polished front?


4th gen mirrors....can't wait until I get my passenger side mirror...they look great. :thumbsup: What kind of tow hooks you got on there?
And I'm likeing the black on tan. Looks sharp. I may get my grille black coated one day when the polished front looks like crap.

I totally agree Ice... mine is black PC with polished front... no rice here...

dude thats so sexy its disgusting lol jk pretty bad ass i just but my bottom grill in i want the 2 fog lights so bad!!!
 






start looking! they are a hard find and the ONLY place ive found them is ebay, i paid 100 bucks for the two of them, they usualy come in a 4 piece knock off brand kit, id deffinately sugjest everyone run the t-rex upper grill, the extra 100 bucks deffinately makes a difference in appearence and fit.
