sounds like your talking about the FX2 grill it's a model of the f-150 -------------dealer item or ebay or any parts distributor.

If you are looking for a black billet grill, you can go with either Carriage Works or Grillcraft. Check out their sites:

Clar,

Can you hook me up with a direct link to where you got your grille? It looks so much better than my chrome billet.

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.

Replacement

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:
