I got my Replacement grill from Carraige works on friday and got it put on.
MAN! What a pain the in the butt! The directions make more sense after you wad them up and throw them away. I ended up going over to my Fathers house to have him help me put it on.... Trying to put the grill back onto the hood was the hardest part.

Anybody that installed the replacement billet grill by themself is the man. I almost couldnt do it by myself.
Any ways, heres a pic.. couple more in my gallery.

 

Looks great! Although I am not a fan of emblem-covering grilles, yours looks good!

I put my grilles on by myself - but of course, they were bolt-over, not ones you had to cut out the factory grille.

Great job man!

 

There was no cuttin involved with this grille.. Just removing the honeycomb part.

I actually was going to get one of these grilles a while back, but I talked myself out of it.. untill I seen one up close.. then I was sold.

 

looks good man, ive done the swap about 4 times on mine, once you get used to it, it doesnt take long at all

 

Cant you put an emblem on these grills?

 

you can put the factory one on with double stick tape if you want, i like it better without the emblem personally.... but you CAN put it back on

 

Looks really nice........I'm in the aftermarket grill hunt as well and have seen so many I'm getting confused. Is there a web site that has most of the styles you could point me to so I can figure out which one I want to get?

thx!!

 

f150store.com has a good selection to choose from

 

Good job! A complete replacement is really the way to go on our trucks rather than bolt-overs. I installed mine by myself and it took me over 3 hours to install, what a pain!

Stylinconcepts.com has all the choices you can imagine... but they're not the cheapest..

After lookin at a few different sites.. the cheapest I came across was "truck expressions" .com (somthing like that xpressions maybe).

I agree about the boltovers.... they look nice.. but I like the full replacement myself.
