A different billet gril
I'm trying to find a billet grill that has an outside piece that connects all the bars. I've seen them for GM trucks, but not Ford. There is a bar that runs around the outside of the grill opening and connects the ends of the horizontal bars together. I like the look of it much more, and it stronger. Are these available for our trucks?

Howdy!
Skicrave,
Jason, I have searched for a certain look in a billet grille for 1 1/2 year yet have still to find what I'm looking for. No major manufacturer make the "ouside piece" that you mentioned. (For us anyways)
Probable reason: lower manufacturing costs & not really needed since the grille cover covers the ends of the bars anyway.
Good luck.
Have a nice day.

My ride:
Basics:
- '99 XLT F-150
Under hood and back:
- Ram air (Don't ask me how
)
- AiRaid intake
- Flowmaster DF 50 Series
- 24x3.5" Stainless steel slashed tips (Yes! Solid polished SS, no cheesy chrome-plated)
...
Outside:
- Precision polished billet grille and plate holders
- American Racing 17x8s polished Pythons (Flushed front AND back)
- Goodyear.. something tires (Expensive is all I know. LOL. No Firestone firecrackers for me either)
- Rhino liner
- Ford nerf bars
- Ford bed rails
...
Inside:
- My girlfriend!
...
Fun stuff:
- Dual sirens Black Widow alarm system/keyless entry (Enough decibels to go deaf in a garage )
- Custom driving lights (Just a cool blue)
- 2 High-Watt lights behind grille (For people who cut me off )
- Dual horns (For people who, again, cut me off)
- Dual wheel locks (So I won't be driving home on bricks!)
- Spare wheel lock (So I won't have to use a brick as a spare )
...
