Buzzard vs. Grille

OK...I hit a buzzard with my 05 Exped on Sunday.
The grill is broken into about 5 pieces.
Factory replacement is going to run about $400.
I would like a billet style horizontal grill.
Anyone have any brand recomendations and pictures?

I can't believe that noone has put an aftermarket grill on an 03-05 Exped.
A little help please!

I, myself, prefer the look of the Street Scenes Speed Grill.

There a tons of billet grills on ebay. Sorry that I cannot be of any help in deciding which brand to go with.

Maybe you're not getting a lot of responses because the title of your post doesn't ask for help in deciding which billet grill to go with.

And just how does one go about hitting a buzzard anyway??

Well, I was driving about 50 MPH and 10 of them came flying out of a ditch next to the road, swirved to miss the one heading for the windshield and hit the one I could not see below the hood.

Ebay Grills plentiful

I see grills for expeditions on Ebay all the time....a lot of them.

just go to ebay motors and down to parts and accessories and type in expedition as your search word

Crutchfield

I used the link Matt provided above and bought a grill from Crutchfield.com made by Carriage Works. I'm happy with the results. Note, the instructions that came with the grill were poorly illustrated.

@fullhouz I thought Crutchfield sold audio/video equipment... I am not surprised the instructions were limited. I found that the guide hosted by Truckin somewhat helpful. Congratulations on your new grill. I'm working on a grille design for my truck and should have it done soon, whenever I get around to it.
