I think I would paint the surround the trucks color. Like so many 09 up F-150s, the grille is too big to be all chrome.

How does paint hold up over a chrome grille?

Since you asked, I don't like it. Looks cheap and tacky. I have yet to see a tasteful aftermarket grille for the 2009+ trucks.

In my opinion, the FX2 grille is the best looking one out there.
