Default ecoboost bumper billet slight mod

Did a slight mod on the way the billet sits in. With the Ecoboost you have the two notches still exposed after the billet is installed.
I bought some rubber 3/4 inch spacers, drilled holes in them and then re-installed the billet. The Carriage Works billet now sits 3/4" forward
Much cleaner look.
Carriage Works billet grill, ordered from Summit racing, delivered to Canada in 3 days! $140 total, places up here wanted up to $300. Talk about supply and demand.

Ha, my black Carriage Works Billet just arrived today from the US. I paid about the same too.

Now you have me thinking if I need to find some 3/4" rubber spacers prior to doing the install. Where? Home Depot?

What was Ford thinking not putting something in that unfinished looking hole in the first place? Tsk ... tsk ... all EB should get this mod, IMHO.

I got from a supplier in Burlington SB Simpson. Where you located in Canada, I have lots of left over if close to Hamilton Ont.
