Stainless Grille Inserts
A long, long time ago someone asked me where I got my grille insert. I'm just getting back to them now.

It's made by these people.

I'm real happy with it. I think it was about $75 CAN. They make real nice mud flaps and stone guards too, check 'em out.

I was told it could be used year round, but if I was planning on heavy pulling that it was advisable to remove the center section. I left it on all summer and and didn't notice any elevated temps or overheating.
I didn't really look too closely at the website, I just kinda stumbled on it. Guess I shoulda checked it out a little more closely.
If you've got you're eye on something send me an email, I'll try to get a price for you, but it'll be in CAN dollars.

Make sure you take them off before taking it to the dealer for any warranty work. They will use any excuse they can to deny a warranty claim.

My dealer put it on.
It's no different than putting a decal or magnetic sign on your truck really, it's actually easier to take off.

Kind of a smart a$$ answer on reading it again.
I guess if you're concerned about the dealer giving you grief based on overheating/lack of air flow it MAY be a concern, but it shouldn't be. It's actually pretty open, it may reduce air flow by say 30%.
Like I said I certainly didn't have any problems. I guess at the least it makes a fancy winter front.

Thats the last person i'd ask for advice, the dealer. I couldn't even get them (service manager) to install a chip. Had to go to the ford mechanic who puts in the chip. It only takes one time to learn.
