looks good! I have started not to like my billet grille since it has started to get dull and is so noisy. .Id like to get a factory grill again and a ranchhand grille guard.

I think youve got too much chrome between the grill surround and the bumper. other then that looks good.

Are the harley lights real?
and what part of dallas are you in?

yeah the harley lights are real. there is a little to much chrome on the front of it now that i think about it. oh well, it looks alot better than the stock bar grille.i live in mckinney, probably about an hour and a half maybe two away. this is what it used to look like.

haha same here, i'm trying to gt a black Supercrew & hope to have one by summer & convert my mods to that truck. I'm not really in love with my truck paint, and the rusted up chassis

anyways, your truck looks good! Has a bit too much chrome yeah but still good. I find it funny when ppl come up to me & ask me "what kind of truck is that? The grill & headlamps changes a trucks appearence alot lol.

I you had the '99 - '03 srround your trucks appearence would almost look like mine a little haha.

Grill looks great. Is that a Carriage Works unit ?
I replaced my stock unit with a Carriage Works grill like yours.

Installing billet grill

I bought a billet grill for my 99 F-150 Lariat and I need help installing, i can't seem to get the screws out of the plastic radiator cover so that i can reach my hands behind the factory grill to mount my billet grill. I know it can't be that hard. any suggestions please let me know. Ben

dont they just pop out? i had someone professionally install mine because you had to cut the grille out on my truck, there wasnt any tabs to pop the grille out, so you had to cut the grille perfectly. something i wasnt sure i could do. let me look at mine real quick.

i couldnt really tell cause there is not enough light, but it looks like you can just pull them out. i didnt try really hard to pull them out, but it looks like youre going to have to use some force. maybe somebody else knows how to get them out.
