Edge or XLT?
Alright, the time has come to get the last part for my truck before i paint it. the grille.
I dont really want an aftermarket grill right now, so i'm gonna head down to certi-fit and get one, but which?
The one i have now
XLT
But i'm really leaning to this Edge one...
What do you all think? i have a 2.3 5 spd just like in the top picture, little red truck...
EDIT: fixed picture

Alright, shane, i'm looking through my trusty certi-fit catalog and it has like 4 different valences, but only 2 that are non textured, so my choices are
1) Edge/tremor with fogs, paint to match
2) XL/XLT without fogs
Shane, in your picture with your brother (based on this above) i'm guessing you have the edge valence, and your brother has the XL/XLT just like i do. but yours almost goes all the way around, but your bothers does go all the way around... i cant get a new bumper just yet, so will my stock bumper fit on the edge valence for a while? i'll get a chrome one when i do though.

01-03 EDGE's got the fogs and smooth painted(visually the same as the XLT 4x4)(with painted upper)
01-03 XL and 2wd XLT both got textured fog-less valences with painted upper for XL(like yours and my brother) or painted (for XLT's)
Your 4th option is probably an FX4 valence. You dont want that. They have extra cuts in the 'grille' hole of the valence to compensate for the larger, different designed towhooks on the Fx4 trucks.
My truck is a 2001 XLT 4x4...So yes, it does have an Edge style valence on it. But textured.
You cannot put an Edge valence on a 2wd XL/XLT bumper. Take a look at the following pic where the rear edge of the bumper combo meets the front of the wheelwell....
The upper bumpers are different as well...but only on the very ends to compensate for the 'notch' or 'kick up' in the valence.
Ask yourself...do you want a painted valence? If so, get one that has EDGE or paintable in the description. If not, stick with textured 01-03 XLT 4x4.
I hope I'm making sense. lol.
Hun...get a 04-05 chrome grille shell, and we'll mold my extra 01-03 honeycomb into it...
It'll be another one of those GO originals...

everythings clear now, and that bottom one looks pretty good. but one more question, certifit has 2 chrome bumpers. a XLT 4WD, and an XLT 2WD. are they different? they are different prices also...
