New Grill, DX3?

I thought I was the only one that changed the grill on the M2. But I saw this on the website for the dealer I am going to see in a few weeks. Looks nice. I think I like the black one on mine better, but this is definitely cool.

Brian is this a new factory grill?

Mine looks a little better now that I have the Black HID headlights, but couldn't find that picture today.

I saw that chrome grill on a new unit in southern CA dealer. I called just today to ask how much from the parts dept. They didn't know but said they would call me with a price tomorrow. Comes with the two bottom grills and with the air vent grill on the side.

Here is a pic of the lights I had made. They do make a difference since they are 55w projector beams. It took some time to get them aimed, but I love them.

Our grill came with the side vent, front grill, and two lower grills.

There was a $5k grill upgrade available from Dennis Dillion when I bought my Force HD. It was very similar but had an amber LED light at integrated into the grill.

A bit too rich for my blood when it comes to bling

Those are nice options. I think I would want mine 100% black, going to do the blackout on the next Dynamax. I like the integrated LED lights. Very cool.

LED light performance

Here is a comparison of stock lights and just 2 Baja Designs Lights. If you do destination camping the additional light is a significant benefit.

It is not, but we did talk at one time about a package. Its just cheaper for you guys to get them aftermarket.

Thanks to Murraym's post on the Opt switch wiring I was able to get the lights working tonight. Bumper lights I spliced into the fog lights, so the fog light switch controls them. I spliced into the runnings lights for the grill back lights (yellow running lights built into the Baja Design lights in the grill. And I used the "Opt" switch for the grill flood lights, so I can turn them on/off anytime as they are not tied to the switch.

Jammer151 super impressed with your Rig!!! I think the black on black looks really sharp. I like your blacked out bumper too. The chrome FORCE badge is going to look strong and will tie into the factory chrome light bezels really well. Thank you for posting the night photos. The backlit amber feature gives the grille kit a killer look even at night. I think you'll be impressed with the performance of the LEDs escpecially when you're scouting out the ideal camp spot late at night. And man, you wasted no time installing the grille kit... and hooking up the lights. Did you not sleep last night LOL. Looks Awesome! Thank you sooo much Jammer151!!!
