f150 grille on expedition

anyone ever try to mount an 04-07 f150 grille in the spot of an 03-06 expy? i am contemplating changing to a different grill, but can't find anything but billet(too flashy for me). i saw an f150 fx2 grille on ebay i like....

i was thinking the same... but it would take some custom brackets i think, since the f150 grilles are bolted onto the hood, why not get a billet grille and paint it black ???

Don't think it'll work.

The Expy grilles are held by these clips:


There are 7 of them, approximate locations shown:


The F150 doesn't use such clips.

haha i've seen the 03-06 expy front on 04-08 f150 but haven't seen it the other way around lol, but i doubt it would look good since the front bumper and fender body lines wouldn't match that well with the those of the expy
