Interesting e-bay grille mod

I'm not a fan of crazy grille mods or add-ons, but I thought this one was interesting. Take a look at e-bay item #200090108626.

I like the fact that he retained the OE grille behind, gives it a neat look. As mentioned, it's probably not super strong though as it's just some heavy steel bolted to plastic.

On the right truck that could look good, but not on MY truck!

Never mind the grille! That is one nice Bronc!

But yeah, it does look great, especially on a white truck... I always like white and chrome together. I don't think that stainless would be that heavy, and the pics shown don't look like it is 1/4 thick, but much thinner, tho I may be wrong...

Pretty cool,I just wish I was the guy that charged him over $400 to make that.Maybe I can zip out a few with the plazma cutter and get over $400 for them.The hardest part would be grinding down all the edges.

I'm pretty sure the seller was only joking about the 35-40 hp gain

I contacted the seller. Apparently it also makes it more reliable, keeps it cool in the summer and warm in the winter, makes it stop faster, and cures hayfever and other types of allergies.
