Has anyone installed a billet grille in an FX4. I am thinking of a black grille from carriage works.. What i need to know is do you have to cut anypart of the grille. It looks like the gray part comes off with a couple of screwws. Can anyone help?

 

I have the replacement CW billet. No cutting but you will have to drill 4 holes. Pretty easy install. The grey comes off the outer ring with compression clip deals. You peel the tape and release the clips. It's the hardest part but not complicated.

 

Thanks. Where do you have to drill holes. if for some reason i wanted to put original grill in will the holes be visible.

 

Not visible, they go across the bottom of the surround between the grill and the bumper. It's a good fitting grill.

 

I have the black CW replacement on my FX4 also. The holes that have to be drilled are in no way visible with the hood shut so no one would ever see them. And I'll second that it is a good fitting grill, and I think it looks great.

 

Yes'' I got the bolt over and i had no holes to drill..

I also have the replacement grill from CW. Dont know if i would go black though, it would look like a huge hole in your front end.

Here's my setup

 

tpeterson, get the lower one also. they look great together.

 

Are there any billet grills that replace the 6 piece system and just use one whole piece?

I have the same grill, but I want the one piece billet.

 

That's what mine does. You want the one piece billet replacement

 

Good deal thanks. I got the part #'s.

 

Where did you get that Grille??? That's what I've been looking for and cannot find one... or maybe I've found it and just don't know it. Every thing I've found either goes over the original grille or just looks cheap, but I like yours!

 

purity I got it from TAG Motorsports - I can't remember the name of the grill though sorry! TAG Motorsports is in Escondido, CA dail information to get the #. I know that doesn't help much but i don't have their # handy.
