I got them from NPD parts in Charlotte NC. Go to npdlink.com and you can order them on line. I live close enought to pick them up. They cost $200 and come with clips to install them. The original ones I had were dented some and I decided to replace them. You may have to file the ends a little bit to keep them from hitting your grille and scratching your paint, otherwise they were easy to install.

You see my Ford blue oval on the grille? Like yours right? Rest of the front end is together. My camera won't take a picture with the lights on so I had to use the flash in the dark. It will look better when I get another camera.

I do like the red! I am ending up with a similar red however it is an Audi color called Brilliant Rot which is german for brilliant red. It is basically the same as the old Porsche Guards Red. To make the color really pop, Audi actually shoots one coat of white followed by the red. I am considering doing the same. Is the red over light gray oem primer on your truck?
