If you have a H bar grill like my old one it wont work. I think it will only work on the XLT/Lariat honecomb grills. Try finding a cheap XLT grill at the junk yard or ebay and take off your painted grill surround and putting it on the XLT grill to match. (be carefull not to break the tabs off of the surround) Then you can get this grill. Someone correct me if im wrong. By the way thats a badass grill. Kinda like a saleen grill.

yea it looks like if fits over the factory style grille with the large opening (lariat, xlt, etc.) like it says in the specs. So it wont fit over your fx4 grille you will need the other one. look around im sure someone wants to get rid of theirs. maybe ebay? craigslist? im sure you can get one for cheap.

i dont think that would work. i think the grille actually mounts to the honeycomb part and if you cut out the bars you wouldnt have the honeycomb part anymore. also the bars come all the way to the edge so if you cut them out you would see holes where they were. (That grille goes in there a little)

actually you have to cut out the existing grill and mount this in there. look at the install pics. but not sure with the h bar.

Seems like a lot of trouble just to install a grille.
