A Mustang pony on a Maverick? That's illegal sir
Miscegenation.

Horses and cows, sleeping together . . .
:eek:

Hit bambi 🦌 with this, just hose off the blood and keep on going.
Go ahead, Bambi. Make my day!

oh, and the obvious solution to the Maverick grille is to have it chromed!

Who else hates the black trim plastic grill. I even took the entire front out to paint the grill (that is how the grill comes out) still does not look awesome. And the recess collects dirt and dust which looks grayish white in color. The plastic is v cheap quality. Does anybody know of a decent aftermarket grill?
The lobo's grill is also plastic, right?
I can't think of any vehicle that doesn't have a plastic grille.

Upgrade the grille to the one from the BAP. Still plastic, but looks infinitely better. Only downside is it does not come painted, only primed. The plus side of that is you can paint it whatever color you want.

I agree! But what's the part number, and how much is it? I found the diagram for the grills on the Ford parts site but all the different ones (XL / XLT - Lariat - BAP -Lobo) are on the same page and I can't figure out which part # is which grill.

Sz6z-8200-xaptm is the part number. I can't help with pricing as I get employee discounts.

That part number isn't coming up from a search but after looking up on a different site it might be SZ6Z-8200-EA ?
Seems to be more than double the price of the Lariat grille ($8xx.00 vs $3xx.00), I can't understand why if it isn't even painted ...

Easier to handle. The body shop would prep it anyway. Why have to paint it twice...

Different style, different finish & primed for paint. I got the p/n by giving the parts department the VIN off a truck on our lot with the BAP, that's the one that came up for it.

Also this is for a 25/26, if you have a 22-24 it's obviously totally different.
