What kind of grill do you have? They don't look like Carriage Works. I like the flush look. I've seen similar looking ones on e-bay but wasn't sure about the quality.
Thanks

I got mine from this guy on ebay goody4less $110 for 6pc upper + bumper w/ shipping (not sure if that's a good deal or not but the transaction was smooth). Quality is good, but it uses toggle bolts to mount. The included ones were kinda crappy so I replaced them for $5 at Lowe's. The one thing I noticed is that the two side pieces slant downward and are not straight across but to me it makes it unique. If they ever make a bumper insert that matches the HD grilles, I'm all over that.

Yes, that's my feeble attempt at Photochop.

Still, I want to try it for real.

If I could figure out how to mount it, I'm sure I could get at least 2 lower grills from one top grill.

Hey kool aid, looks good though.
I would guess this means that no one is making the bumper HD inserts. There is a guy on ebay that has a HD conversion kit : grille, headlights, taillights and 3 fender emblems for $675, does that seem high or right on the $??
(probably works out to $250 hl, $250 tl, $145 grille and $30 fender emblems)

I don't know if I would use the emblems, but those black HD head/tail lights and HD grill would look sweet on your truck.

How did the truck take it?

I used to jump a BMW at high speeds.

I was at the dealer today getting a free oil change, as I was cruising around the lot in a golf cart, I noticed that some 06 Explorers had a grille similar to the Harley Davidison grille but it had a matching one bar grille covering the bumper hole. How come the HD trucks don't come with that bumper grille, although I noticed the 06 HD had a smaller bumper opening than 04 & 05 reg. F150's.
