Stull Billet Grill
yesterday I installed a Billet Grill on my F250. Man, what a pain it is to install. The install of the grill is not hard at all, but the cutting of the old grill to create just a frame is a pain in the "you know what".
I have about 6 hours into it so far and still have some cleaning up to do.
Did any body else have the same experience?

just did one myself this weekend it took me about 3 hours used a dremel tool went pretty easy but that plastic stinks when you cut it
mine was a new grille the original chrome went bad so i bought a new one so when you cut up a brand new grille that sucks hardest part was cleaning the burrs from the plastic when it dried but it was worth it

I think it took me longer because I was REALLY REALLY afraid to mess up. I used the Dremel too.
I really like the look of the grill. Now I am going to figure out how to add the blue oval back. Although it looks really good with out it.
I really love this web site !!

it was a biotch to do in my GMC z71, and it took me around 8 hours to do the job carefully, so i can only imagine how hard it will be for our trucks... i will be doing this mod shortly..hopefully

IF THE STULL GRILLE IS THAT HARD TO PUT IN,WHY DOES EVERYONE RUN IT?
WHAT ABOUT THE PUTCO GRILLE OR THE VIRTUAL TUBULAR GRILLE.IS ANYONE RUNNING THESE & IF SO HOW HARD ARE THEY TO PUT IN?
WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE JUST MAKE A BILLET GRILLE WITH THE CHROME OR PAINTED EDGES.
HOLY SHEET, IT CAN'T BE THAT HARD.

Mine wasn't hard, but took a while to get it to fit correctly. I had to test fit and remove it upwards of 10+ times to get it to sit flush and tight without having to force the shell in place to screw it in. Used an air rotary tool, worked like a charm.

It wasn't that it was hard, but it was time consuming.
I cannot agree more with your statement about getting a full replacement. The grill is soooooo easy to take off, that a full replacement would only take 10 minutes to install. Also, i would love to have a chromed metal grill frame rather that a chromed plastic grill frame.
I think everyone gets the Stull grill because it is a beatiful product once installed.

I too used a Dremmel, and it took about 3 1/2 hours. Now I've got an air rotary cutter. Wish it was in the tool bag when I did the grill
Work would go a LOT faster. You can pick up a "cheapy" air cutter for $20.00 (throw away type). The trouble is if you don't have a compressor capable of running the tools, then it gets expensive
The grill is nice though. Some of the new "add-on" grills are starting to look better and a LOT easier to mount though
