It is a big improvement on your truck Looks outstanding!

 

Nice grille. I need one of those.

 

Did you use your original grille surround?? Was the install pretty easy?

 

Man you read my mind. I was just clicking back on forth between a FX2 grill on a DSG and a Roush grill on a white truck. I think I like the Roush better. How was the install? What was the price?

 

looks great how did you attach the emblem? just double sided 3m or something?

 

Thanks for the replies. The install was easy and took about an hour. The grill was $150 on sale from Roush and required the use of the original stock surround. I broke a few tabs off my old FX grill to get it separated so watch out if you want to keep it. The Roush grill comes with a bracket to optionally install the original Ford grill badge.

My thanks go to this thread: https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=267098

 

That looks good...I am going to get the same grill with my tax money.

 

I just ordered it. I have been looking at this grill since X-mas. Finnaly I broke down and bought it. I just need to find a matching lower bumper grille to match.

 

Get the carriage works bolt over for the lower......That's what I got and it matches very well.

 

just ordered also...i was debating the HD grille but didnt' like the price tag....this is just as nice imho

 

I second the carriage works bolt over for the lower

 

Your grille looks awesome!

Okay, I've been drooling over that grille on that link for a good ten minutes BUT how the hell does that thing install?

I see where it says "this grille utilizes the factory surround" but how do YOU utilize the factory surround?

Is there a thread somewhere that has detailed installation instructions?

 

basically you'll have to take the inner part (honeycomb or h-bar style) apart from the surround (chrome or painted) its just some tabs and stuff that hold it in i believe....then you snap this one in place of the old one...

 

And those tabs are damn near impossible to release all of em without breaking a few. I broke a few and it still held in there really tight. The stupid clips have a little tab behind them that pretty much prevent you from releasing the clips unless you break the little tab off. You will see what I mean if you tackle it but all in all it's a good 15 minute job, not too hard. Just take a 10mm socket to remove the grille and surround from the truck and a decent sized flat screwdriver to pry those clips, and a beach towel to lay the grille on so you dont scratch the face of it while working on it
