I recently purchased a chrome surround and CW grille for the truck. Anyway after I installed the surround/grill I realized that the surround didn't fit correctly on the left side. I tried loosening all the screws and shifting the entire grill a bit without any luck. I was wondering if anybody has had similar problems and if there were any solutions. I absolutely love the look of the CW grille and chrome surround, but I guess I rather have it fit correctly. Another thing is that I can't seem to get the 4 screws on the bottom from hitting the plastic bumper piece. Any help is appreciated.

Normal Fit on Right Side


Gap on Left Side

 

Damn, that sucks. Is it an aftermarket surround? Because I could see them having some problems with fit.

 

Well i bought it from this guy off of ebay who had a good rating and all. It was a genuine ford part that was actually brand new (inside the box and all). I have no idea what could possibly cause it but I plan to take it apart completely and start over tonight.

 

you may have to open a hole up by elongating it for fit . hard to see in the close up pics other then line is off.
