Hello, I have a 99 f150 4x4 and have been looking for an aftermarket grille for it. I see all kinds of billet grilles on ebay, but dont really know which ones are better than the others. I basically want the look of a billet grille (which I will be painting black) but I want it to replace the grille and not be an overlay. I would also like to have the option of switching back to the stock grille, so I dont want one that requires hacking up the original shell. If anyone could help me out, and possibly post links/pictures I would greatly appreciate it.

Here is a pic of the truck it will be going on:


Thanks

 

Just paint the stock honeycomb grill. It really makes a difference in appearance.

 

look at a lightning or harley truck (2 different ones offered '00-'01 and '02-'03) grill

 

i agree, if i were you i'd check out the lightning/harley grilles. Put mine on last fall and love it!

 

Where are you finding the lightning/harley grilles? I've been looking on ebay, but cant seem to find the right ones.

 

Forum classifieds, forpartsguy, tasca ford, anderson ford etc

 

I just happen to run across one for sale a guy was selling off his harley in the parts classifieds and got it at a very reasonable price too.

 

lucky! i'd love to have the '02-'03 hd grille, but can't spend $500 for one at lmc ...the L grille isn't looking too bad either...i can't decide which one i'd rather have..even if they were the right price...
EDIT: btw, i really like your stock grille on that truck...the silver look stands out nicely against the black.

 

i want to paint my grill, what kind of paint did you use?? mine is turned to a nasty gray

 

Krylon Fusion paint. It is made for painting plastics. I need to redo it though.

 

I got my H.D. grille from NHTOC.COM... one of the vendors had a new one with a broken tab, i bought it for $100.00 and had the shell painted to match my truck for another $100.00... looks awesome, i love it.

 

does anyone know anything about this grille? or have one on their truck?

i know where there is a used lightning grill for $40 plus shipping

 

considering you do not have a lightning bumper it will not fit on your truck

P.S. that is for the bumper part not the main grill like you are wanting, they even circled the part that it is, in red

 

Opps, I saw the upper part a couple of days ago, but that was the only link I could find last night.
