OEM Mexico grille

Has anyone ever been able to get ahold of an OEM grille from Mexico? I've even thought about taking a ride to the border to get one, nobody around here can get them. Of course, this was when I had my Supercrew. A few of my buddies with 10th gens still ask about getting this grille though.

Here is one on an 09' F150 (they made the 10th gen body up until 09 in Mexico and South America, exclusively as a V6 reg cab short bed) advertised for sale on an MX car lot.

I went down to Mexico with a buddy a few years back and saw a 2009 10th gen that was still brand new on the lot. If my buddy who came from Mexico was right about the exchange rate at the time, they were asking around 15K USD.

They literally built this body style in Mexico until they ran out of parts. Lots of them didn't even come with a radio, just a blank piece of plastic where the radio should be lol. They are all XL's but random trucks came with STX and XLT parts.

I wanted to try and locate a grille when I was down there but it was hard to convince the other people on the trip to go looking for one.

Haha the ol lobo f150s. I'm pretty sure someone found a way to get them before but the price wasn't reasonable, I remember there being a thread on this like a year or so back.

When I first learned about this grille I wanted one, even posted a thread about it here. Until such a time as we get a member on here that lives in Mexico obtaining grilles might be difficult.

not quite the same, Jean

I'm sure there is a FPN. Can't someone find it and maybe find out where we can order it? If they have been in production since 2009, I'm sure there are quite a few out there still, maybe even some NACA repros
