Since you're looking for opinions, and they're like.................well you know. For me it's way to blaa, generic looking.

How much did it cost? I presume you do not like stainless or chrome. To me, the problem is that you can see thru the grille and see the radiators, and there are many!

I would prefer your grille, complete in chrome. I don't like mine as it is an insert! Sorry, I don't like yours, and I don't like mine!

It is amazing, but note that you have a job # 1 truck. Notice the smaller air dam?

Reminds me of the grill on my grandparents Olive green refridgerator. Honestly, take the grill back out and shoot the intercooler etc with some black spray bomb then put the grill back in and it will look a million times better.

The fins are to wide and the bugs and road debris will pound your cond. fins to death.I run lund on 05s and other brand insert on my 08 and it has fine fins to stop debris. All super dutys with any miles have smashed fins because a small june bug will damage the cheap things. Then u run hot while pulling and ac suffers at slow speeds. Ford engineers are so lame or maybe they luv selling the lame public new ac condencers . Factory grills or even worse with as much as 2 inch gaps. All sds need a screen of some type.

Looks too plain for my taste, a polished billet grill with the painted surround would look much better.

I like the painted grills (if I had to choose) on the 08. However, no grill will EVER fix the ugly-*** front end of the 08+ SD's. When is someone gonna fix those ugly lights?
