I do like that, but actually follow the line down the bumper and fill all the area between.

I think that looks great. Careful, a vendor might steal your idea and have something for sale in a week!
When I first saw photos of the 2025 front end and heard the reaction to it, I assumed that multiple vendors would come up with patches like this. Having said that, if I owned one I'm sure I would have gotten used to it—after all, I hardly notice the lovely Formica-like dash insert on my '24 any more.

With that said - the Lariat signature lighting and the larger grille bring it in line with the rest of Ford's corporate styling and to me make the 22-24s look a generation old.
well of course... i mean with 52-mini fashion seasons a year, my MY2024 headlights are sooo last week.... careful your MY2025 headlights have already progressed to the third stage of it's fashion cycle...

Gen1: 2022-2024 grill/lighting maybe a bit more on the playful casual side for sure with those big exaggerated headlight assemblies.
Gen1 Refresh: 2025-2027 grill/lighting looks a bit more refined/upscale/grown-up for the times.

Both styles will age well over time and find fans. I like both.

I think about Austin Healey Sprites...
Gen1 playful, cute
Gen2-Gen4 a bit more conventional to refined for the times.
all beautiful and have aged well, but obviously come Gen2 they wanted to distance themselves from the bug-eye playful look.

Nah, no chord hit. It's dry humor. I though you were being a bit silly pronouncing our early Gen1 Mavoricks dated; so I had to run with it and have some fun. :D I like my cute big eyed Maverick, and the BAP Lariat combo helps it a bit; even better with my Dynamic Diode Fog Lights. (which I know you also don't like, no worries, you are entitled to not like pretty things. :LOL::ROFLMAO: )

Yeah... Man I love those Austin Healy MK1 Bug-Eyed Sprites and any generation MK1-Mk3 Austin Healy 3000. Wish I could afford one. Maybe I'll be able to settle on a MGB/Midget or TR7/8 or X1/9 instead someday.
