Does anyone have a good write up on mounting a front camera on a 17' to this grill?

This is what I did on a similar grille:

i was reading the posts so i bought the galaxy moto raptor grill (plain, he doesnt have the one with RAPTOR on it any more) on impulse, then asked him if he could sell me the F O R D letters but he said he doesnt have them anymore. ugh.
anyone know where else to get them? i can only find the F and R for paramount ones.
if not, ill probably buy one of those DODD ones that come with the F and R. It seems like the price has dropped since 2016.
and idk, probably sell or return the galaxymoto grill

I would like to be able to see if someone could fabricate a piece of metal that was just slight notched so as to accept the horizontal plastic of the F with some type of screw attachment on the upper and lowers of this support piece. Sometimes leary some idiot walking by could snap off the lower bar of the F. Thinking too that a car wash brush might get caught up inside there and snap it. Not a big fan of car washes for my truck either.




Truck looks great! I have a black one and thinking of doing the charcoal grill rather than the black. Do you have the link where you bought this grill and letters?

Thanks,

Joe

The Galaxymoto grille looks great with a Ford emblem, reminiscent of the honeycomb grilles on the 1997 to 2008 F-150.

oh snap. yea it does. looks pretty good. i remember seeing a couple of post of it. i think he used a superduty 13 inch front emblem vs original 9 inch. i might have to go back and see how he actually did it.
im noticing the galaxymoto grill bottom lip has some extra plastic or something compared to the "paramount" versions. is it too noticeable in person?

Here's the build...

I prefer the Galaxymoto grille with its lower lip, I think it meets the headlight trim pieces fairly evenly and blends in well, especially since it's color-matched.
