thoughts on grill

I am going to replace my stock 05 lariat screw grill and I was wondering if anybody has any advice. I am leaning towards the vertical billet but it may look to muck like a lincoln. Any comments would help thanks.

I bought a lincoln look grille for a day and returned it. Granted, my truck is an STX which has no chrome, but it looked way out of place and I quickly realized how good the stock grille looks.

I bought one of the chrome h-bar grilles for mine. I think it really sets it off.

are you going to buy a entirely new grill or buy an insert?

I agree the chrome h-bar is one of the nicest looking grilles on these trucks

I am going to remove my honeycomb grill and ford ovel. I think I am going to go with the horiz bars just because of the lincoln grill being vertical.

This is the one I got. I have an XL with the chrome grille surround already in place. This insert just sticks to the original with tons of double sided tape on the back side all around. Once it is on there it is on there. The Ford emblem stays in place so it only takes a few minutes to install.

This same seller also has honey comb versions too.

The tape is already applied so all you do is pull the protective strips and stick it on.

There is also a version on Ebay that is the entire grille assembly with grille surround. I think it is about 130.00
