after market grill
Has anybody come up with an after market grill that replaces the BUTT ugly grill with cheeks that is on the new 2011 & 2012 F 250/350 pickups. The over all boxy look of that grill and the cheek pieces screams of a lack of concentration of some Ford stylist at the head shed.

Anyways, Carriage Works makes a grille for the 2011/2012's.

Would I do it again..... yeah probably.
Only once have I seen it at an angle I thought looked bad. I was up on a rig floor and the truck was several hundred feet away with the sun shining directly at it. It looked like the grill wasn't there just a big opening. I might also go in there and paint the one aluminum line black, it just looks ugly in there.

The cabinet maker always see his faults and in your case you are probably a craftsman and worry about it too much,….looks good to me. It has that famous GMC on steroids look and a big Ford Blue Oval in the middle of the grill would attract your attention and mask any of your perceived imperfections.

Yeah I thought about putting the oval back on there. It did come with a piece to adapt it. I think I'm gonna get billet badges to do something custom for the back and leave the front as is. I already have 6.2 badges on the way for the doors.
