Looks great! The other day a rock smashed through my stock grill and now I am definitely considering this upgrade. But Iāve heard of stories that when you screw on the letters that they almost go there them and you can see the indentations from the screws. Did you have any problems with this? If not, where did you purchase yours from?The project came out great! I really like how it makes the truck look. Ford should just add this to the truck as OEM.
I had to get a new jack and stands. The jack I had was too short, and I didn't trust my old stands. No safety pin. I got the jack puck and jack stand cover for Amazon.
Jacking the truck was no problem, I put the jack a little behind the jack cutout. No creaking or anything. Lot's of discussion on the forum about it. It was a non event.
It was much easier to get to the front of the truck with the wheels off.
Some basic instructions would have been helpful. I'm not much of a mechanic, but at least I'm organized.
This mod really enhances the look of the truck. I put a dab of white lithium grease on the tab for the wings, and they slide right on. Pulling the old ones off were not a problem.
Fake hood scoop is the next project. Maybe tomorrow.
I did have that problem with one screw, but it was my fault. I put the wrong screw size in. You wouldnāt notice it unless you were looking. I didnāt have a problem after that. I got the grille from ebay.Looks great! The other day a rock smashed through my stock grill and now I am definitely considering this upgrade.

There are quite a few on eBay. Do you happen to have the link to the one you ordered?I did have that problem with one screw, but it was my fault. I put the wrong screw size in. You wouldnāt notice it unless you were looking. I didnāt have a problem after that. I got the grille from ebay.
I do not. I apologize. They are all the same, however.There are quite a few on eBay. Do you happen to have the link to the one you ordered?
Update with video at night, lower LEDs I tapped into the upper turn signals. This is also with the lasfit switchbacks Installed. Some folks may not like it. Lower LEDs are white when turn signal isn't in use. Side markers are lasfit also. Price has dropped down to $200 now. Better buy. Definitely getting great compliments.I joined the grill club. I Should have it installed this weekend. I suggest replacing the 24 screws and washers with #8, 5/8 sheetmetal screws, and 1/2" fender washers. The screws that come with the grill are too long and will poke out of the lettering, but use the short 6 short screws for the eye winglets. I just preassembled mine myself W/ LEDS. Here's the link I bought mine from. Comes with the LEDS $219.00 free shipping.
I watched a youtube video and I also saw that guy say he punched through the front with the screws. With that in mind, I "snugged" mine and did not have any unauthorized penetrationLooks great!

I do not think you can hack it to make it work. I think you'd be wasting money even trying too.Has anyone gotten this grille to work with the ACC on the Lariat? Or am I going to have to be the first one to hack it up and try and make it work?
Don't make fun. It's all I could afordo.OFORDO
