after market grill
Has anybody come up with an after market grill that replaces the BUTT ugly grill with cheeks that is on the new 2011 & 2012 F 250/350 pickups. The over all boxy look of that grill and the cheek pieces screams of a lack of concentration of some Ford stylist at the head shed.

I agree, I'm looking for one also.
|
I actually love the front end look, has a "tough" look to it, but as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :-X04

Anyways, Carriage Works makes a grille for the 2011/2012's. |
T rex also makes a bunch of different grills for our 2011 SD's
|
there is a thread on here somewhere, I think it may be T-rex as the manufacturer that has some pretty impressive looking grills.
not cheap.. But they sure look worth the cost. |
This is the black T-Rex grille on my truck.

Would I do it again..... yeah probably. Only once have I seen it at an angle I thought looked bad. I was up on a rig floor and the truck was several hundred feet away with the sun shining directly at it. It looked like the grill wasn't there just a big opening. I might also go in there and paint the one aluminum line black, it just looks ugly in there. |

The cabinet maker always see his faults and in your case you are probably a craftsman and worry about it too much,….looks good to me. It has that famous GMC on steroids look and a big Ford Blue Oval in the middle of the grill would attract your attention and mask any of your perceived imperfections. |
Yeah I thought about putting the oval back on there. It did come with a piece to adapt it. I think I'm gonna get billet badges to do something custom for the back and leave the front as is. I already have 6.2 badges on the way for the doors.
