I was worried about that large hole too! Picked up a piece of screen made to cover house gutters-cut length- sprayed it black! Fits perfect and looks good for just a few $$

[MENTION=143509]Turbo69[/MENTION] yes it does look good. Especially a close up shot like that. You did a good job. I like it.

FINALLY...A lower insert that actually matches the grill.

Kudos Todd, excellent...and kudos to forum member Reider 03 for making these.

I have the 6 bar chrome billet grill on my 2010 and I've scoured the internet (with no luck) looking for a lower insert like this that actually matches the upper grill.

I've seen plenty of pictures of lower inserts, but none of them match or fit in with the rest of the front of the truck.

I've seen several pictures of Ford trucks with the 6 bar billet grill and a lower insert with 11 or 12 thin horizontal billet strips.
That looks completely out of sync with the rest of the front end and is not aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.

I'll definitely be contacting Reider 03 concerning one of these.

Again Todd, it looks great.

Regards,
Greg

It just snaps in the same holes as the License Plate Holder for a 5.0 f150! Takes less than a minute to install

I decided to go with this Grill Craft, its a perfect fit and I think the mesh matches the Grill better on the Lariat.
