Name this front body part

What is this piece of the front body called? I'm going to order it on FordPartsOnline but I can't figure out what part it actually is.

Is the piece between the bumper and the headlights and it wraps around the honeycomb grill. I'm not sure if it also includes the grill or it is a seperate piece of trim. I managed to break the piece under the passenger headlight and the other side is kinda messed up too.

Its called the grille shell, just make sure you order theone with an opened top not a closed one. The closed ones come on the 2wd models

I don't see anything called a grill shell on the parts list. There are a bunch of things on there that look like they might be it but the colors are all wierd and there are no pictures.

Edit- Perfect, thanks!!

The PartsTrain number is F070118. Can you also get the headlamp slide clip thingies that hold the lights in place? I need them for the passenger side.

And I don't see where you specify the color. How do you make it come in black?

I worked at a ford dealer and if you order a ford one it comes painted and ready to install. it is just called the grill on the 01-03's. The 04-06's the part under the headlamp is bart of the headlight support.

The part number from ford would look like:

1L5Z-8200-XX or something like that

1L5Z = 1 year of part (This might be a 2 or a 3) L5= Ranger

8200= the actual part # of a Grill

XX= the color designation whatever that may be.

I have bought several grills for my trucks over the years and I the most I ever paid was $125
