I don't have a billet grill on mine, but as for the latch...they usually come with extensions to relocate the release lever. I've seen broncos with billet grills...I think it looks great on the newer (91-96) broncos with the tapered grill. Check out some of the galleries of other people's broncos around your year and see if you find any that catch your eye.

i have a billet grill on mine, i can always take pictures of the latch assymbly if needed
basically its an extension that goes up and to the right and you have to cut out some of the plastic above your latch assymbly
in my galleries-at the bottom of the posing there are some good shots of the grill..along with a couple others-

the instalation was really pretty easy..maybe an hour tops to do everything
id look into getting them from summit, thats where mine came from originaly..i bought it used
they look really good on 92-96, and i think it adds alot to the look..not bad for the cost at all
any other questions, just send me a pm/email

Installed a Stull billet grille on my 96. Took photos along the way. You will find photos that answer your question about the latch release in my gallery. More/better photos on my website.
Also some photos of how I put my grille emblem back on my billet grille. Looked like something was missing without it.
Hope this helps.

I bought one on ebay from grilles 4 u it is billet made by APS and just finished installing it and it looks sharp. I didn't like the latch extension so tig welded a piece on the leg that you normally push on so that it extended forward almost 3". Any grille you buy is going to be different in one wayor another so take it a step at a time and make mods where necessary. I also used the existing ford oval and it stands out very proud. One day I will get a pix and post it.
