anyone need 1500 grills?
I'm installing mine right now and I'm confused... It shows on the instructions that the Ford emblem should have (2) 10 mm nuts on the back that you loosen to release the emblem. Mine doesn't have these! All I have is some plastic tabs, so I broke those off. Still didn't come out... I'm starting to think it's glued in because there is some stuff that pretty much resembles dried glue all around the back of the emblem.. Anybody else run into this? Kind of disappointing because I really wanted to keep the emblem.
Hmm, my '07 had the two nuts (just those cheap stamped sheetmetal trim nuts) and one locator pin (which you need to snap off to use on the new grille). Even still though I really had to pry on the emblem and hit it hard through the holes from behind to get it to let go so I wouldn't be suprised at all of there was a little adhesive there too and I just didn't notice.
One word of advice is to save those original trim nuts from the emblem and re-use them. The crappy clips that come with the grille to re-attatch the emblem kind of suck. I had a bitch of a time getting them on good enough (placed a 10mm socket over them and tapped lightly until they were as tight as I could get them) and the emblem still has a little bit too much play in it for me.

I just now got mine in, they shipped out one orignally and it went some where else in autin I have no clue so I contacted a guy at roush and told him the situation and he sent me another one, just got it today, whats the best way to paint this black glossy??
Mine came in Friday while I was away, took just under a week. I have to say I am extremely pleased with the quality. It was packaged with care, everything in order, and it looks incredible on my chrome package XLT with the chrome grill surround. I will say that if you plan on going back to your original grille at anytime, think twice, or take lots of care removing it from the surround. I ended up breaking a few of the original tabs on the stock grill insert but I don't plan on reusing it ever. The retaining tabs don't really bend out of the way as much as they just crack away, but I think if you use a heat gun on them for a few minutes it may soften enough to bend the tabs away and be able to reuse them in the future. I was so happy with it I went out and had the exhaust done! I'll post some pics tomorrow. Thanks again Andy!
