not if the "look" is close enough to the trademark that it could be considered trademark infringement.

Also, the name is a funny thing. Toyota and Ford sued each other a few years back over names. Toyota wanted to call the Tundra a T150 and Ford had the LS8.


SO I guess like we discussed in a nasty thread a few days ago, the law is subject to interpretation and a judge deciding how close to infringement a name or object is.

I don't go for bling bling, if it doesn't do something or make it go faster, I don't want it.
Ok, maybe a little.

That is one sweet looking grill. First cosmetic only thing I have wanted for my truck.
They have got to want to sell these.

speaking of grills. Is it possible to swap a Lariat grill for a FX4 grill. I like the FX4 grill the best of any option.

FOUND THE GRILL

Guys, I found that grill.
There a company called justbilletgrills.com (a subsidiary of aim industries) that sells the grill for like 199 (tax & shipping). Check out Truck'n magazine for ads, or hit up my email; for more info if needed. I put it on my truck (its billet, no polished yet) & it looks tough. I will post pics when I can.
Big Mike

Sorry, typo on the website.
http://www.justbilletgrilles.com/
you can see a picture of it in Truckin' magazine. Truckin has em in the aim industries ads in each issue. Justbilletgrilles.com is a subsidiary of AIM industries. Their phone number is 1-800-289-9980, they dont have a pic on thier website as of yet, but its in the magazine.

Yeah, theyre website blows. The guys arent the brightest bulbs in the box who work there, But they have the grill. I had to tell the guy on the phone to open the magazine and look for it. Its not even close to polished when it gets to you. Its also still rough around the edges. Theyre are 2 tabs welded onto the sides that you basically just bolt over ur existing grill. When I have time & when its warmer out, im gonna take the whole thing apart & redo it. I have 2 self-tapping screws holding it on right now. You need to pull your old ford emblem off the old grill & bolt it onto the new one. And, of course, youre gonna break off at least 1 post of the emblem backing (like i did), but it will hold with just reusing 1 speed nut!

$200 for a BOLT OVER grille? Not in a million years. I am annoyed at having to pay $18o for a FULL replacement upper AND lower!

That's ridiculous.

Supply & Demand Beef-man. I think it's outragous as well, but that may look pretty hot on the front of the 'ol Tan Terror. Hmmm... then again, I could just fab one up!

bigmike - is it too much to ask to take pics of the front and rear? Oh wait... you said you already put it on.. dagnabit!

lol dzervit,
I got my g/f a digital camera, and when she opens it today (when i give her her gifts), i will get her to take pictures sometime this week. I will try to upload it as soon as i can. Worses comes to worse, I will post them when I get back to ny early next week.
Its not the best looking piece (from far it looks tough as anything), but once you get close, its a lil rough like I said, and needs to be polished alot. I left it plain for now, but will work on i when it gets warm. As far as the mounting, it is a bolt over (2 tabs, 1 on each side) & it bolts to the inside of the existing grill. I dont care much for the install/mounting of it. If youre in it for the looks, then it works. I just hope it holds to the grill.
