Already had a neighbor stop by and said, "Awesome Looking!"

Any comments...

 

Looks cool! Have you stuck the blue oval up there to see how it would look?

Needs one more door.

 

Yea I did, however, I like it without it so far...

 

Where'd you get that kit and what did it cost you? It looks pretty nice. I wonder how it would look behind a grille guard... How long did it take to put in?

950-77725 99 FORD F-150 VALANCE INSERT 1
*Estimated Shipment Date: 11/08/2000


I got it for 33% less than what is on their site.

The installation took about 2 1/2 hours due to having to take the factory grill and shroud off and then painting the original grille black so you can't see through the new one.

 

I like my too

 

That is sweet looking. Do you basically cut out the old grille and then put the inserts in?

 

Do you have to remove the old grille? It looks almost like it fits over it. Does it affect cooling or air intake. I have the towing package on my 5.4L 4x4 ORP.

You don't have to remove the old one. I just painted mine black. The deinstructions stated just to put it on, however, after I did that and reinstalled it the grille assembly you could see the original one. After painting it flat black and reinstalling it, you can not see the original one until you are within about a foot and even then you have to look really hard. Some on this board have cut out the original... I just wanted the extra strength so I did not remove the old one...

I have the ORP and the towing package as well with the 5.4L, no cooling problems at all, no whistling at highway speeds as well... You get a lot of looks with it...

 

I like the look (especially on the silver, Robin)... seriously thinking about getting one. How does it mount? Any input greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm getting one too,but painting it gloss black. Then I may or may not put a 67 Mustang cobrajet emblem on it. I don't think they look all that good with the ovals
on them either (like the billets do) ,,,98
