Default Installed my grille and front emblem

I installed my front grille and front emblem yesterday I love the way it looks. It took me about 3 1/2 hours to install it. There are the holes and stuff so you can transfer the shutter system. I couldn’t install the rear emblem because of time but I’m going to try to do it Saturday.

Much improvement over the chrome grille. On my previous gen XLT, I had a paint to match (PTM) grille surround and it really improved the looks by lessening the perceived visual mass of the front end.

Definitely an improvement. I didn't like the chrome at all, it was just too much. I dont know if you can see it in the picture but the grille has a glossy look to it and i wanted to try to match the glossy look of the paint. Next up the painted bumpers.

Did you pull the grill and paint it or buy one that was taken off another truck. I am thinking about doing this.

I like it! I have been throwing the idea around of getting the STX sport grill for my ‘18.

I bought it on eBay, it comes painted like that already. I can post the link to it if you want me to.

Looks nice. I have an 18 and have a STX Honeycomb grill with Ruby Red surround being delivered tomorrow to replace my 2 bar grey one. Looking forward to installing it.

Thanks. I’m guessing you have a chrome grille on your truck?

I think you're going to be very happy with that look.
