Delete if its been posted.

Edit: FB post claims they painted the cowl, handles and mirrors as well
Badlands based on the orange trim in the grab handle.

It certainly doesn't look horrible but I prefer a contrast.

Not my personal taste, but its not horrible.

Have to see how paint on that area holds up to the typical road blasting

remember in kindergarten when you'd color the pictures but then just give up and color everything the same color because you were 5 and it was snack time? reminds me of that.

Lol YES!

Also it gives me a 90's monochrome "I painted my Ford F'kn Ranger grille myself in the shed with a Dollar General spray can, beeches!" vibe.

Not to mention it doesn't exactly match. In that lighting anyway.
Direct-on at the hood looks like a match, but at the edges where it meets the fender it looks about 2 shades darker.

Not knocking it, at least someone tried it.

I have to be careful these days and give props or I'll be made fun of for pretending to be a "paint expert" or something hurtful.

Yeah I think white or body color grills need a different design to look right, it needs to match the body panel contour more

1. The curvature of the grille makes the center portion appear to be painted in flat RR.
2. I don't like the matching color but it does also speak to how different the front looks and how well my white grille will look.

I tend to agree with this.
It looks like an add-on afterthought once you highlight it with white or body color, it seems.
Hopefully Aftermarket comes out with some cool (non grumpy) options.
