Used Grille??

Anyone done an aftermarket grill and have the old one kicking around that they want to get rid of? Mineral gray preferred. Thanks.

I am just curious, what happened to yours? I would check Ebay if you don't have any luck here.

Kind of embarrassing. I walked around the front of the truck while clearing snow off it last weekend and slipped. In trying to catch myself, I put my elbow right through the grille. It was cold and just shattered!

Don't feel bad, I have done that before clearing snow off my car. Plastic is so brittle when cold. Good Luck!

Put a 2005 chrome grille on, like in my signature below.

You can get them (OEM) on eBaY altered to fit the 2004 and prior years.

Do you have any pics that are more head on? That's definitely an option I would consider.

These pictures are a little better.

The eBaY seller takes a 2005 OEM grille and shaves about an inch of the bottom to make them fit 2004 and older models.

Very professional alteration. Here's a link to the eBay seller's auction....

If I'm not mistaken, the color is "Mineral Gray"

Sorry OnlyFords,

I forgot last night to get the grille out and take a picture. I was watching the Fiesta Bowl game. However I had my wife look and she confirmed that it is not the Minerial Gray. It is the original grille off my 2000 ex, with the chrome trim.

I tried to look through old posts, because I posted some pictures of the original and the new one when I did the swap. I also tried to get to webshots, but the work filter will not allow that.

Let me know if you are still interested.

Not sure.

But the OEM honeycomb looks pretty good, IMHO.
