Here is a pic of my painted grille before I put the '05 grille in.

Thx for posting. Has anyone seen the older style grill with the chrome bezel and gloss black in the middle?
Couldn't resist checking your photos Troy, new grill looks good too. Did you have to trim the bottom to fit with the bumper?

Yeah I had to trim the new grille to fit. Wasn't to bad to do. I got a brand new grille from the local junkyard for around $100 and started cutting.

Like this?
Just clean up the existing grill and tape over the chrome. Use some adhesion promoter, gloss black spray paint, and a shot of clear coat spray paint. The pink Ford oval is optional.

Thanks Chris. I don't know why I couldn't do that. It may be the PC. I'm at work on their PC.

Yeah, exactly like that. That's hot... Thanks guys! *grin* I was going to change out the whole front end - but just spent a fair amount on under the hood type goodies... and really getting attached to the 99-03 grill. Thinking the black and chrome might look good on a red truck with new headlights.
