Yea, bolted right on, no cutting. Only thing was that there are two places for screws on the bottom of the new grille to hold it better and I had to drill holes for them but no biggie fits like a glove. I also put some fog lights behind it too.

Looks nice. I've seen a couple of F150's around my area that had the one's that you had to cut out the inside portion of your original grill. Yours looks very different from theirs.
Question. How does the hood latch work? I can't see it from your pictures. I always wondered about that.

I bought the Billet grill off ebay and put it on last night. I will post pictures tomorrow. Not sure I like it. I like the quality, but the look??? Looks so different than it did. The grill comes with a pice of aluminum that you bolt to your lever to pop the safety latch on the hood. I did not put it on, because I can get my pinky finger between the grill to unlatch.

OK I said I would post pictures so here they are...old grill vs new grill. I would appreciate any comments towards which looks best. I am leaning to put the OEm grill back on.
