Grill guard

I have an opportunity to buy this grill guard. Talked the guy down from 200 to 135. What do you gentlemen think? Should I get it?

I'd pay no more than $75.... but it's about supply vs demand vs availability. What is it worth to YOU?

Yes not genuine Ford, but who cares. The genuine Ford one was never chrome neither. I have one like you are looking at, I am putting it on my red truck.

The OEM ones are hard to locate and then pricey if you do locate.

That sounds like a fair deal (135 beats 200, but 100 is even better CASH talks BS walks) if the chrome is nice and not flaking off. It makes a black grill insert really stand out. Especially if you paint the core support black also. Good luck with the purchase.

I'd say $135 is a good deal if the chrome is good. I've seen painted ones sell for $150 on eBay...I have one that I'm thinking about listing.

Mounted on a red truck with black grill insert/headlight doors and fresh core support paint.

As far as the price, "fair" is what's good for you and the seller.

But make sure it fits your truck as dents had two different styles of front bumper
