I was wondering if anyone else was wanting to fill in that hole underneath the grille/ above the license plate. I have an 08 F150 FX4 with the Honeycomb grille in it and was wanting to know if anyone knew where i could get some of that material or where i could purchase something already made for that location that matched my upper grille.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Used to be a company who made that piece. I cannot recall the name but it was stupid expensive. My 04 went without.

Just so you know that there's something out there...

 

i have a billet piece, i am sure you could find something online, dont remember where or how much.

 

A guy that use to work at my building took a piece of 1/2" thk expanded metal and welded &bolted a frame to fit in that void. He had a finishing shop put a "black chrome" finish on it... and it looked original! On the frame, he made it so he take the piece out and interchange and or clean if necessary. Iirc, he had a black honey-comb and a chrome version being made.

I'll see if I can find a pic when I get home later.

Of course that would be a cheaper and (Imo) better looking fit/finish alternative if you had access to a machine shop.

 

Carriage works sells a billet bar grille for that area. I didn't like that hole either, but I ended up buying both grille and bumper grille.

STOCK


CARRIAGE WORKS GRILLE AND BUMPER GRILLE

 

wow that looks sick

i want

to bad they dont have one that would match the fx4 bar grille

 

i know that is what i am looking for is one that matched the FX4 grille

 

alot of guys buy 2 of the Roush grilles, and then cut the extra one down to fit that lower section

you can get them both for about $140-150 shipped directly from Roush on eBay



btw, if you have a 2004-2005, there is a small insert that is OEM you can buy. It fills the outer edges of that smaller portion...but it only works on the 04-05's
