Your looking at a standard 2001 grill with the "Ford" badge removed...

Imagine a chrome SVT badge in place of the oval... I've been hounding MGW to make one of those.

I like the ford badge on the front better myself.
I also Like JDM's truck with the Sterling emblem in place of the Ford emblem

No secret that it's "photo shopped" - but not for long. I just bought a second 2001 grill. I'm taking out the emblem and filling in the space with cross sections cannibalized from the second grill.

Then - and this is a maybe - I want to run a 1/2 inch chrome strip across the leading edge of each cross piece. It may be a little too much.

The original plot was to chrome the grills but it would be too flashy and the chroming people don't seem too confident in their ability to do the job well.

Powder painted black, though...
