Here is the shot of the T-rex insert from two different angles. This is the onw in which you need to cut out the existing grille.

Grille was around $160 after tax but I do not have receipt on hand, I will edit my post tomorrow to give you the right amount.

Killer, I have the same set up as SMC and love it. Sorry SMC that I hijacked your thread...

Mine is from Carriage works and I ordered it from Crutchfield.com, believe it or not. I called CW and they said to put a solid piece in the FX4, I'd have to cut the grill out. Didn't sound too good to me and I like the unique look with the burly nostrils!

Call Crutchfield and be sure to order the 6-piece set, and lower grill if you want it. The guys at Crutch know stereos very well, but for grills, not too good. Get your questions answered at Carriage Works direct.

Easy bolt on installation, quality mounting hardware, no cutting, and the billet is SOLID.

Wife and dog took my truck to the mountains, otherwise I'd send some pics.

Sorry Im Just replying

Had some computer problems

This is a real high quality grill! totally happy with it . well one down is the mounting hardware is starting to rust. I'll be taking them out and painting them black but that no big deal

Got my grill from stylin concepts. cant remember what i paid, It was quite some time ago, but they were around the same as all the other dealers
I get alot of compliments on how it looks
The silver star bulbs adds some class too!!!
Let Me Know How you Make Out!
Bye

The Grill I got is the brushed, I was on the fence about the polished or the brushed ? so I called carage works and asked how much of a differance there was Between the two... and what they said made sense to me...

"If You have brushed aluminum Rims Go with brushed aluminum
accessories"

"Chrome Rims Would look best with more polished Acessories"

My FX4 really has no chrome or polished anything so I went with the brushed Grill.

They also stated that the brushed required less maintenance..

"Hope that helps.

Good Luck!!!
