New Billet Grille With Pics

Hello all, Decided to change looks from my Westin inserts to a full billet insert and got it installed today. Clay mentioned this grille(Thanks Clay) off Amazon and the vendor CPD are top notch people, they answered their phone when I had a question and even said if I needed any more assistance to give them a call. Here's their link, Amazon.com: New! Ford F250/F350 SuperDuty Billet Grille/Grill, Polished, 99-04: Automotive I will order from them again, unless Clay has it. Install was relativly easy, just cut out the middle and corner snorkle ports, sand it down and line up the billet, drill 5 pilot holes in the grille frame to secure the new insert, and put back your stocker over top of it and snap in the bottom tabs and install the top screws and your done. I took these pics right after install so the truck is a little dirty, snow, salt, better pics coming when I get a chance. Before-stock and Westin inserts stock grille out and middle section removed new one installed, truck is really dirty, it actually looks better than these pics plus I forgot to paint those supports black behind the grille, I'll do that tomorrow.

Looks smooth. Now you need that IH emblem from Clay to top it off.

Looks great Mike! I'm going to do the same grill on mine. I've always been a fan of that style.

Thanks Alvin, like I mentioned earlier, this is a cost effective alternative than the tube style billet, I love both but decided on this one..

Thanks guys, I do have my Westin inserts for sale in the classifieds if you like that look, it does retain the stock grille but adds some flair, hook yaa up!!
