I replaced the chrome grille with a satin matte black one from eBay.
The chrome one looked alright, but there was no other chrome accents on the truck. I think the black one suits it better?

Looks good!I am of the same opinion as you!Also have a black grill as there are no other chrome parts in my car.
Those wheels look nice ,maybe will look even better with some spacers on the rear..
