I've been looking for a grill to replace the stocker on my 2013 f150 fx4. At first i thought about doing a Billet bar style grill, but I wanted a change of pace and something a little cleaner looking. I found this grill from Grillcraft while looking around the forum/Google searches. I received it today and it's pretty solid. Great quality materials, fitment is perfect, and the instructions are very simple. The one thing that made me nervous was that I had to cut out the plastic center of the oem grill with diagonal cutters, but it was easy once the first snip was made. Let me know what you think.

i like it, i was looking at this one and the smitty built one. This one looks nice, how does it mount into the surround

Thanks! $177 vs $300+ for the smittybuilt one... I think it's worth it. Plus it looks great. It mounts to the plastic leftover after cutting the center part using screws and flat metal nuts supplied in the kit. All you have to do it line it up, mark the mounting area, and drill six 3/16" holes. Install took less than an hour.

I'm already considering installing a 30" rigid bar back behind the grill.

Thats why I was looking for a replacement, so I can mount a light bar behind the grill

Do you know if there's a market for the grill center that was cut out?

Unless someone is trying a one off of something, otherwise no, I haven't seen or heard anyone that wants the center once it's been cut, unfortunately

Ok, I was just wondering before tossing it. I feel weird just throwing it away.

Grillcraft is also made in USA, as is carriageworks billet. Pretty sure smitty built is china. Looks good, been going back and forth between this and the billet, just orderd a silver Grillcraft upper and lower

Unfortunately these appear to be discontinued. Anybody have any ideas on some place that might still have these?

That looks good. Nice compliment to the design of the truck as a whole. Great job. Great taste.
