Grille Question

Hello All
I have been searching the forum but I am still confused
If I order this part from ebay (Ford part # 7L3Z 8200 CPTM)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-O...3756.m20.l1116

Will this replace all the chrome pieces on and around my grill or will I have to order a PTM valence also? Here is a picture of my truck. Thanks for all your help.

That grill comes with a PTM grill surround that will replace your chrome grill surround.You won't need any parts, you will just need to get the new grill and grill surround painted.

Thanks Nassty
Thats the info I needed. I will order today. Has anyone noticed that TASCA is more expensive if you order from ebay vs just ordering from their web site?

I agree the chrome just does not match. I am going to get a FX2 Grille and get it painted grey to match. Anyone know what a body shop usually charges to paint a grille?

I would say between $100 and $200. Probably closer to $100 if you know the guy. What are your plans for the chrome grille?

I had a chrome Lariat grill and bought the PTM surround and had it painted at the dealership where I got the truck from. They only charged $100 + tax. So for $110 I had the correct paint color and it was warrantied.

I ordered the grille from Tasca yesterday. When I receive it I will see what my ford dealership would charge to paint.
