Default Lower Grill Ideas

Living in NC we don't need front license plate so I took the holder off. Looks like previous truck owner pulled up too far when parking and tapped a wall or something. A few cracks base of the two license plate holders at the bottom of grill (not sure what they are called).

Looking for some ideas on replacement.

1. Bull bar: Not sure I can add one since I have ACC and collision warning.
2. Light bar Insert
3. Grill Insert

Pictures? Vendors? Costs?

Not sure where you live but if gaining access to the block heater cord comes into play you may want to consider that before covering those holes.

North Carolina. No need for block heater cord here. If possible, not looking to cover the hole.

I installed a T-Rex lower grill insert on my truck:

Looks like jeffsmith bought this one. Decent price and installation instructions don't look too bad.

I cut/trimmed mine and added a lightbar. Get alot of compliments on it - several say it looks like it came from Ford like that (which is what I was going for)

That's the one. No cutting whatsoever, fit perfect out of the box. Install took about 10 minutes. I've had it on the truck for about 6 months and still looks great.

Did you cut only enough for the light to fit? Seems like the pieces are only partially cut. I wanted to cut both center piece to add a light but wasn't sure how it would come out
