grille inserts
I,m interested in a grille insert for my 2002 250. Other than appearance, I'm not sure what to look for.Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Anyone have any problems or praise with a particular one. Thanks.

I put on a Putco no cut SS grill and have been very happy with it. It is a no cut, bolt on and I think it looks great. (see my gallery). Not cheap but no cutting and being able to move it to my next truck made sence to me. Good Luck.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 30-Nov-02 AT 00:26 AM (EST)]I'm with super350. I love my Putco grill. Easy to install, approx. 5 min, and no problems.

The referenced thread is a little thin on info and the web site it points to is gone. I am interested in a replacement grille also rather than one of these stick ons.
Anyone know where to find them? I think the billet ones with no logo look sharp.

You might look at Stull. (see my gallery) Lots of work to install, but the finished product is hard to beat. I got it at carparts.com (I think), it's been too long and I'm too old 
I've had bad luck with Steelhorse and lousy customer service, just my humble opinion.

I agree with some of the above posters, the Putco grill looks great and is so simple to install that a child could do it. They are not kidding when they said it took 5 min. to install.
Check out the pictures in my gallery for a before and after comparison.

stull pealing
i installed a stull on my 2003 f250 in august and loved it, until i washed it today and noticed all the black finish was pealling off.
Has anyone else had this happen? Did the company stand behind their product?
Thanks
