Painted the grill on my 2001 F150 after reading the original post. Thanks for the info!

I replaced my 2001 F-150 grill with an Expedition grill i got from pick and pull. I painted the new one after looking at the first post. I think the original F-150 grill is really ugly. Thanks for the post!

are we able to do this without removing the whole housing? I kind of have some external mask on the headlights which i wouldnt like to remove...

But i do want to personalize just this plastic horrible honey comb.

Let me know!

I did this about 10 years ago and it's almost ready to do it again.
Thinking about the dreaded suspension lowering process next.

Does anyone happen to know the part numbers for the grill hardware? Star screws, cover screws, etc.
It appears that the FORD parts diagrams do not include hardware.

Thank you!
