I got a great deal and next week they'll do the spray-on bedliner I had 'em throw in for kicks and giggles! The Sirius holder thingy in the dash will also be removed - it blocks access to the brake controller, which is way more important to me than satellite radio reception....
I knew you'd find one...She's a beauty.

Is the quality (fit, finish, chrome) of the aftermarket grille what you expected? It's my only concern... otherwise, I think's the best value for the $$$.

Sorry...

Yes it is,

I have had it on my truck for about 2 years, and it looks as good as when I installed it. Fit and finish is great too.

Then it's definitely the grille I'm buying. Thanks Sarge!

I am pleased to report that the wiring attempt was a smashing success, not withstanding the "Rut-Roh!" moment when the blinkers didn't work. One new fuse later, and she was good to go! I can tell already that I'm gonna loooove that brake controller.

Her Highness is going to be a blast.....

And I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of the other grill!

Might want to check with Ford dealership. I had a little mishap with my chrome package grill and it was like $245 for a replacement Ford grill. Never hurts to check Ford first, have been surprised a few times with the prices.

I am work now, and she's getting a bit of attention, that's for sure! As I backed into the parking space (to show off that cool grill, of course), the sensors went off to let me know I was getting close to the car behind me - just when I was thinking I needed to get out and check my distance! Gotta love technology.

HA! Who says that a Super Duty can't be "high-tech" and "hard-core" at the same time!
