Billit grills
I am looking for black billet horizontal grills for my '05; main grill and bumper grill. Does anyone have any pics of their aftermarket grills? Where is the best and cheapest place to buy?, And if the spot where the lower grill goes in the bumper did not come from factory with one, does the installation hardware ususlly come with the lower grill when you buy it? I know its alot of questions, but I really want to keep everything black, and I am anxious to see some pics of your guys fronts.

I have the black Carriage Works billet combo. The factory lower bumper opening should have 2 small plastic grill pieces on each end (like 4x4 inches big). The lower billet grille attaches to those pieces with long bolts that come with the grille. If your truck is missing them (some are), then I guess you could use long black zip ties to hold the billet grille in there.
I have some pics in my gallery here:

I've actually had this grille setup for over 4 years now and it's holding up great. I never felt like changing it for something different, and I plan to get a new truck anyways in a year or so.
The Ford emblem is just stuck on there with 3M double sided tape. It's holding up fine too just being taped on. Without the emblem, the grille looks too plain and also looks like a big black hole in the grille from a distance.
