Question about Westin Bull Bar, and aftermarket grill...

Hello, well i have decided that i need to so somthing to my F-150. I have been looking around at various aftermarket things, and have deiced that the Westin Ultimate Bull Bar is the way to go. I love the look of it.

My question is how much do they run installed? And for those who have them do you really miss your front two hooks being removed? I used the ones on my Ranger all the time, so im not sure who that will effect me.

My second question is, i have seen some pics of it, but the grill insert (at least that is what i think it is) that has all the large crome horizontal bars. Where can i get it, what is it, and how much does it cost?

Thanks!

**EDIT**

Ok i found the grill, its a 2005 Harley Grill.

Got mine for around $300 on ebay and installed it myself. It's really a simple installation if you have a torque wrench

I don't see them in that image, are they BEHIND the bullbar, if thats the case they're unusable.

no you have to remove them, becasue (from what i understand) that is where the bull bar mounts to.


BTW, thanks for all your guy's help! they look sweet! i like this idea, because i can take it off at the end of the lease and sell it, or trade, etc.

What kind of lights do you guys prefer. On my old ranger i had a brush guard with some KC dayliters (the ones that were really really bright, and expensive) i only used them for offroading twice, then another time for playing volleyball at night, then another for setting up a campfire. The other times i used them were when dumbasses brighted me several times i would just flick those on for a few, and see how they liked it.

Do the driving lights come with the WBB or are they a completely seperate item sold that way? What type is on yours?

The lights are 100W KC daylighters, and they come totally seperate from the bull bar.
