Grills

Looking at replacing my grill. What are the best looking grills and where to get them? Provide pics/links if you have any.

Thanks

I think only YOU can decide which are the best looking grills, right?

I really like Speed Grills.

Try an ebay search...you'll be up for hours...

The two best manufacturers are Stull, and Carriage Works (the latter only use 100% US Sourced materials). While the ebay search is good for looking, almost all of the grilles there are imported from china. Again, just a touchy subject for me (if you see my signature, I think you will understand why).

My suggestion would be to spend the money to get a good one, especially for something so noticeable. Nothing looks worse than a cheap insert.

It is the new 2006 F-150 harley grill and it will look great on my 2004 lariat.

Go with Carriage Works. It's what I have in my truck and love it. I don't suggest a bolt over though get the replacement. I had the bolt over and it didn't look as good on my truck as Ryan's does.

I second the Carriage Works. I didn't like the thought of the gold honeycomb plastic backing a bolt over. So instead of painting it, I got the replacement. It was exactly the look I wanted for my truck.

So everyone agrees that the replacement is better than doing a bolt on?

In my opinion yes. I didn't like being able to see the factory grille behind my billet grille.

By the way, you can check out some pics in my gallery. There are one or two showing the Carriage Works Replacement.
