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!
