I have a 2004 F150 Lariat, I would like to get Billet Grilles for it.
Has anybody had any experiance installing these? I dont want inserts. Also what brands are best?

Thanks for any help.

 

Sorry I can't answer your question but...

Have any pics of your truck?

 

I put a carriage works billet on my 04 FX4 and this has to be the easiest Billet i've ever instaled. And i've put a few of these things on over the years. Got it and the lower grill for less than $250 and had it on in a hour without a scratch.

 

just wondering also if anyone has any links as to putting on the grills. i'm getting one from a bud who had a F150, but sold it. i'm getting it for $25! woo-hoo! anyway, it is one of those flame grills. now he said i will have to cut, drill, screw and all that jazz. just looking for links with install pics., like the fog light mod link that was here some time ago. thanks, willie

 

You can get some really good deals on Ebay. I just bought upper and lower for $134 shipped. They are brushed finish, but I'm gonna polish them when they get here.

 

I got the carriage works grilles and they are great and could not have been easier to put on.

 

Here's my carriage works grille. Crappy pics but I'll be taking some more later on. I also bought the bumper insert too but haven't taken any pics since then though.

 

I installed a T-Rex billet on my 2004 Lariat. I to did not want a bolt on so I took the time to disassemble the grill and cut out the honeycomb insert and then fit the billet into the remaining frame. I also installed the bumper grill and that was a bolt on.

 

This company has a great price on an insert billet grill. Anybody have any experience with them?

Hey Medisconna this is where I bought my T-Rex but I did not buy the bolt on. I went with the flush mount and the bumper grill. It requires you to seperate the shell from the honeycomb insert after removing it from the truck. After you have it seperated you have to cut away the honeycomb from the retainer. Once that it is done you reassemble with your new billet. This is a better way to go then the bolt on because you have billet all the way to the shell. If you decide to go this way and need advice let me know

 

I can check monday and get back with you on those questions.
