ive looked through the threads and ive seen people with black billet grills for their 04 and up f150, can anyone tell me where to get one which brand, which website? any help would be appreciated.
thanks
I can't remember were I got mine but the link that was posted above www.carriageworksinc.com I think is the same place, besure to get a replacement grill and valance insert not a overlay, the vallance I had to fab a bracket for so it would set secure, I like the black look but you can see thure it to the radiator.
I just put a Carriage Works black billet grille (replacement) on my FX4 last week...just haven't been able to take a good pic because of the lousy weather.
The quality rocks, the finish rocks...no reason to go with another brand, IMO.
just curious, for you guys who have installed the carriage works replacement grill, I just ordered mine and was wondering how difficult the install was...thanks
I can speak for the quality of the Carriage Works piece. It's real nice...perfect fit, perfect finish.
I did not do the install on mine...One of my guys at our retail store had just done the install on his F150 and was familiar with it, so he did mine...knocked it out in an hour. It's a replacement grille, not a bolt over, so you remove your H-Bar, change out a couple of brackets on the shell, and install the new billet piece. That's making it sound simpler than it is, but that's the jist of it. I could have done it myself, but I was busy...and kinda lazy...and got my bro with experience to knock it out quick.
I make it a point not to take pictures of my truck when it's not detailed, but here are some shots of the new grille:
