Was wondering if you could take closer pics maybe of the grill if you could to see how it sits on there from both the front and back if you don't mind? Thanks i will be installing mine next week.

I'll take some pics tomorrow for you probably in the afternoon and hopefully get them loaded up. This week is crazy it is my spring break The install is pretty straight forward so you shouldn't have any issues

Ok here are some pics for you guys. It rained a lot so these are all I could snag. I would have liked to get night pics and an exhaust vid but video camera issues and rain just made it impossible. Oh well there's always summer for those!

I loved it without the logo, not feeling it with it.

The chrome headlights kill the look. Go paint them....I think the grille is pretty cool IMO, might look a little better matte black. I would look into getting a FX2 emblem,there a lot smaller.

A set of FX2 headlights would finish it off.

I agree that you should paint the headlights black. I also think you should remove the Ford emblem as it makes the grille too busy looking. I like that grille over the Hella grille.

Looks AWESOME. I like it better with the emblem. Although I think the fx2 emblem is a pretty good idea.

So, the install with the normal honeycomb grill is a PITA ay ? Is the HELLA grill going to be the same way ?

I think it's perfect just the way it is! I like it better with the Ford emblem than without.

The plastic epoxy came loose on one side so I had to take it off for now. I may look into the FX2 logo we'll see. Only 7 weeks till I can mess with it again

I also tried to ditch the cab steps but since my parents drive it occasionally when I am not home they asked me to leave them on for now haha

Reason I said is that you have to cut out EVERY metal piece and grind them down around the inside of the grille. Then you must grind spacers down to fit the curve of the grille something like that it said. What a PITA that would be though Just a lot of trial and error and PATIENCE, which I lack sometimes
