Which grille?

I hit a deer in my truck over the weekend and since its going to get fixed at my grandpa's shop I get to decide on a new grill. This will probably only be for temporary till the Saleen grille comes back onto the market.(in about 4 months from rumors)
Let me know what you think. I'm going to try to make a poll.
Its going to be either the FX2 grille or HD grille.
Let me know what you think. All opinions accepted.

Sorry to spoil my ballot, but .... neither.

THIS is the shiznit!



To me, having seen all of them in person, the first two lack "depth", for lack of a better term. IMHO, of course.

And on a Black truck? No contest! And no emblem (I find the front emblem visually unclean, distracting, and utterly superfluous - I mean, everyone already knows it a phookin' FORD!

Good luck wif da Poll, buddy!

No. Wuffer? I saw 'Poll' and dove right in

Still - why buy a grill twice? Just patch up the existing one and save yer money (unless they be free). Some bondo and Plasti-Dipchit. Shoot, I gave away my ol' h-bar grill ...

Still not gonna vote - I just dislike both equally. Sorry.

Good luck.

It be free

And no need to be sorry, like I said all opinions wanted. :thumpsup:

The poll is suppose to have a place to enter your own option? Duh heck it should work.

Probably because the Harleys are ridiculously expensive.

I vote Harley because the FX2, like MGD said, lacks any sort of depth and I actually don't care for them at all. I love my black H-bar, that I swapped to from honeycomb, and probably won't ever change it for anything other than a Saleen. I think the Harleys cost way too much though and would never buy one unless I could get it for less than $300.

MGD, that ugly little badge is a 50 dollar option too . . . stupid. Sorry, I'm not paying another 33% to promote your product/brand

Hold on, who photoshopped 09+ badges onto Darren's truck?

There's no vote for neither.. Why not just save Grandpa some cash and just get the H-bar for now, still looks better than the other 2 IMO. Then get the Saleen down the road which will also look better than your two choices.

But if you must, get the HD and sell it. You'll have enough for a Saleen and some extra $ for better mods.

The fx2 grille should cost the same as the H-bar grill, and i kinda like the fx2 over H-bar because its different..

If I get the HD grille I will be paying some money (about 200) out of my pocket. I was trying to avoid that, but if I knew I could get about 500 for it when I sell it I would. It just doesn't seem like that popular of a grille. (compared to the Saleen).

Keep all the ideas coming! I appreciate it all!

Rockauto has H-bars for $36. I got mine already painted black, OEM black surround, and a perfect Ford emblem for $50 on CL. So now I have an entire spare grill assembly
