Can't Believe My Luck ~ Swapped For A Black Grill, In My Own Backyard
I can't believe my luck. I walked out to my 2009, Vista Blue Supercab XLT Ranger after work and parked in front of me was an all, Black 2009. The woman works upstairs from me. I leaned down to take a closer look at the match between the valance, bumper and black plastic grill. All three match perfectly, a textured finish that also matched my lower front valance.
She asked me if she could help and I told her the Vista Blue Ranger behind her was mine and did she want to swap grills. She smiled and looked at me like I had two heads. I told her all women like and need Bling and a chrome grill on her all black would definitely add some BLING to her ride. Within minutes I gave her my business card and as we were leaving she said she would think about it and let me know tomorrow morning at work. Before either of us pulled away she got back out of her truck, walked to my window and said let’s do this. Once I found a ¼ drive, 7/32 socket tonight, it took a whole 2 minutes to take off my grill.
I’ll post pictures of the completed project tomorrow or Saturday.
Thank you for all your support and suggestions.
I’d rather be lucky than good.
Now if I could find a swap for those UGLY, stock steel wheel, I'd be golden

I know I am going to add Fogs. It's just a matter of going OEM or after market. I have OEM fogs on the MKX and really like the integrated head/fog light switch.
I don't like the looks of the OEM plastic stone guards, back of the wheel wells. If it's not outragously expensive, I am thinking about going back to Line-X (their sprayed liner came with the truck), have them pull the guards and then spray an accent line 3 or 4" high all the way around the truck.
So many mods, so little money. One step at a time.
