I knew that had to be done but I thought you had to modify something. My grill center is the same but has a 3" hole in it from the previous owner.

Mice love a nice warm garage to live in and find something to chew on , eat , destroy ,LOL . Keep food sources well stored and put out traps and poisons . I have a small farm , rodent controll is never ending .

these are the exact ones I got. they can be had with smoked lens, or with chrome inside too.

Just paid for a bunch of rat damage on my wife's Expy

since its a FORD it still ran like a champ, but the ac blowers stopped working due to vacuum lines being severed. They ate the insulation off the A/C lines, too!!! Crazy!

This is the car that 'lives' in the garage, not like my Ex that sits outside all the time. Strange....

By both batterys, in the rear stoage panel, they smell good

I've read about people using fabric softener sheets in their RVs to keep rodents out while it is in storage.

Would you still happen to have the small insert from the drivers side of the grill, and if you do would you like to find it a new home? Somehow mine went missing.
