finally went ahead and bought a grill for my F150. i forgot to take a pic of the stock grill, but oh well. it was the plastic H bar design that looks like crap IMO.

this is my replacement... it's from Roush. i was very happy to find out that they gave me a badge kit as well so i can remount the Ford emblem... i figured i was going to have to find a way to mount it on my own, but thankfully, they already figured it out for me, and it was a snap. entire install was about 45 minutes.

here's a couple of quick pics i just took. it's about to rain outside so i couldn't get any nice shots.. ignore the fact that my truck is dirty as hell too... once i get a nice afternoon it'll be cleaned up for better pics.

black headlights are already ordered and should be here any day now... once i get those installed, i'm going to look into the kits available for tinting the fog lights so they don't stand out so much anymore.

 

oh so much better...and the black headlights will make it even more badass!

 

That's look great on that truck

 

looks good!

use some Nite Shade on the fogs!

 

looks awesome. kinda reminds me of the Mark LT grille just horizontal

 

yeah that looks good man

 

oh and if you dont want to niteshade the fogs, instead of finding kit just get some tint and cut it yourself, come in big sheets in case you mess up...(i should listen to my advice and finally get some for mine...haha)

 

looks sweet...need to get a black and chrome ford emblem now

 

Not really a fan of bar grills. Have to admit though, that one looks good.

 

thanks for all the comments guys

actually neither was i.. i never liked the look of those billit grills you see everywhere... for a while i was looking for the harley grill for my truck, then saw this one in some pics and liked this one just as much. since it was half the price of the harley grill, i made my decision to go with the Roush grill. i really like it

in the process


gonna black out the front oval and the one on the tailgate... also replacing the FX4 decals on the bed with all black lettering and a dark shadow grey outline... a member on an F150 site has them and they look awesome on black trucks

 

That looks great, I'm glad you put the emblem back up. I don't like billet without the emblem.

 

well this isn't a billit grill, but i'm with ya on that note... i don't like them without the emblem's either.

 

uGH thats what i want for my ranger. Not quite a billet, thicker and more chromey(sp?) bars lol

 

f'n sick!

 

tint would melt from the heat, unless you know where to find some high temp tint i wouldn't even bother.

i love the look of that grille, to bad they don't make one like that for the rangers.

 

That's a good change. What is the difference between that grille and a harley grille?

 

looks alot better

 

I dont' think Justin is talking about regular tint. 3M and Lamin-X makes a headlight smoked/tint/yellow/blue cover that you can purchase for the vehicle to give it that look. I'd contact Modbargins.com to see if they can get the F150 fogs for you.

Oh, and the grill is AWESOME. I really wish they made something like that for the ranger, i'd be on it... for sure

 

^^^thanks for covering my **** Larson...haha, i actually forgot about Lamin-X...

 

Sorry to hijack here:::
where can you buy the FORD emblem overlays in black..dont really have the patience to mod my own?? cant find them on ebay

 

i ordered mine from www.patrioticdecals.com

this site was recommended to me from a bunch of members on F150online.com.... everyone buys from them there and everyone is pleased with their overlays.

if for some reason they don't have an overlay for your truck, email them... i think they'd be able to custom make them for any size. i know a guy that had the FX4 decals made in a custom size by them... all he had to do was ask.

 

the price. lol

my Roush has more horizontal chrome bars.... ill post a pic of a harley for comparison in a second....

 

HARLEY GRILL


ROUSH GRILL

 

that looks great

 

thanks for all the comments guys! i can't wait for my decals and headlights to get here.
