New grille will be here tomorrow...

It'll look like my chrome one, but all black (PTM around the edge.) I'll be selling the chrome one soon.

woot.

So, once I get the new B pillars and get my painted factory wheels on, I'll post new pics.

I also ordered a ShurTrax Traction Weight thing from AutoAnything (10% off) for the truck bed for winter. That'll drop the rear a good inch or two...will get in the garage easily now. *crosses fingers*

The HD/Raptor heads and tails are already on. See pages 1 and 3: https://www.f150online.com/forums/20...mps-added.html

P.S. I'm 40.

I'm better prepared for the new grille than I thought. It didn't come with the Ford emblem...but I had bought an extra set a while back. I also bought the black overlays from Patriot Decals for the grille. I also bought the black overlays for the wheel caps. It's funny...I expected the grille to be in one piece. The surround is separate from the mid-section. It's not a problem, just not what I expected. Anyway, the weather is going to be great this weekend, so I'll be able to get all this done...with the exception of the B pillars, which I am still waiting on the replacement set from Tasca.

What did Tasca have to say about the B-Pillars? Did they send you the wrong ones? Are the new ones they are sending a different part number than the first set of B- Pillars?

Yes...they gave me the wrong part numbers and sent the wrong parts. They're sending the new ones...but they won't ship until they get to their warehouse. I'm glad I did a "dry fit" before I tore the old ones off. They're making it good though and I know mistakes happen...just a bit disappointing. I still don't have an ETA on them, but would assume I'll have them sometime next week. I posted the new part numbers in my "Glossy B's" thread.

During...(no emblem yet)

I'll take better pictures after I get the winter (painted factory) set on. Had to do a couple of touch-ups, so will post those later today or tomorrow.

That looks sooooo much better than the chrome wall you had there before. Congrats on the new grille, can't wait to see a pic of it with the painted rims too.

Looking good. Would look incredible if it was glossy to match, maybe a spring time plan?
