Hey guys. I've been searching and searching for this billet grill for my 05 F150 SCrew. The one in the picture below is a bolt over style but I want the non-bolt over style because I think the tan lariat honeycome will show through. Does anybody know where I can get one??? I've searched ebay daily and cannot find one.

Thanks

 

The non bolt over full replacement grille will not look like that one, where it bends in at the ends.

For full replacement billet grilles, look for Carriage Works, at most F-150 shops, and eBay.

 

Darn... thats the look I want. Does anybody have a bolt over style grill on the stock tan lariat honeycome that can post a picture for me to see.

Thanks

 

What about spray painting it black or something first then do bolt over?

 

That's what I would do, or get a black XLT grille.

 

It will show through. I was looking at the same grill, I liked the little Super Duty look to it. I saw this on an XLT and a Lariat, both grill were cleary visable at any distance over 5 feet, where you are at less of a severe angle to the grill. Best advice is to get a full replacement, at least from my point of view.

 

I've heard that some people put a layer of that residential window screen mesh on first before they bolt over their grill. How do you think that would look?

Could I make the bolt over style a replacement style grill? I've never really seen a bolt over style grill in person, I've always used the replacement style.

thanks

 

I haven't heard of that, so I can't say how it will work. I do get a little leary about adding too much stuff in front of my radiator. I like plenty of air getting in there, lived in AZ for awhile and now its always in the back of my mind.

 

Sounds like a good idea right? Yea for bout a half a year then the paint starts comming off from the grill rubbing it and then it will show through. If your gonna do somthing, do it right! Get a full replacement!

 

I have a grill similiar to that. But I have the black XLT honeycomb. But their aluminum bars are thicker than most. Check out www.b-coolbillets.com. For the install, you cut out most of the honeycomb, but leave 5 honeycomb "block" on each side. It would be pretty easy to spray paint the remaining honeycomb a flat black color. Check out my galery for pics...

 

that grill rocks

 

You don't want that one, you want this:
