Default First truck, first build 2.7eco 2015

Decided to start my build thread now that my all weather floor mats came in .. jk guys.. ok what I got here is my 2015 2.7 eco traded my 2014 mustang for it and have no regrets ! Super excited for what's to come stay tuned, open to any input !





Starting out by switching out my xl grill , this can be done fairly easy in about 30 min .... if you know what your doing ! posting up some pics that should clear this up for everyone and help others avoid what I did first

Ok guys this is how I went about it , I will correct my self saving you time if you are interested in taking of your grill to swap/paint and I'm sure can be used to help remove headlights ( next project retrofit!)






You will not only remove the first side pin , but all three connecting the insulation wrap to the bumper , there are 4 10mm bolts you will remove across the top



Here was my first mistake .. you can wait to remove the push pins, till you remove the whole assembly of what seems like blinds to shield the intercooler/radiator.



After using a 7mm socket to take off fender headlight filler bolts your can snap it out.. exposing the side 8mm bolts that will remove the assembly , don't forget to disconnect wiring before pulling it out








Now that the assembly is off it should by easy to remove push pins and the four 10mm bolts that help place grill on the blind assembly






Place new grill back on to assembly with push pins and four gold 10mm bolts



Place assembly back and reverse steps hope this helps you all out !
