Official 2018 Grille Replacement Thread

2018 Lariat 4x4
I take back my statement: I just found one of the tabs broken off in the bottom of the box Grrrr.....
Anybody know if the grille is ABS plastic (so I can select the right adhesive)? I can either go through sending it back or I can attempt a repair. It looks to me like the tab broke when they put the spring clip on because the spring clip "teeth" wrap under the broken part.

Goodies have landed. Does anybody know if the grille has to be off the truck to install the Ford emblem?

Before I ordered the -B from him he told me he had 15 of the -A's on emergency order with his dealer and was supposed to be getting them in 2 weeks ago (apparently Ford will emergency order some parts and fill those first) he didn't get them when his dealer told him he would so I went the -B route.Tasca told me they were on BO until 2/26 when I ordered the grille and once they came off BO Tasca wouldnt see them for 7-10 days....then shipping time to me. All of this happened on 2/7 No guarantee they will be available on the 14th. I would start searching Ebay for them I have seen sold auctions for them in Dec and Jan
Email Tasca sent me when I placed my order on 2/7:
Good Morning, Stephen:
Two parts you've ordered are currently on back order from Ford.
JL3Z-9943400-GA is on back order until 3/13/2018; however, we have a protocol to delete the item off the order if it exceeds 30 business days which applies in this situation.
JL3Z-8213-A is on back order until 2/26/2018. It takes 7-10 business days after the release date for the part to arrive at our warehouse.
Would you like to wait for (JL3Z-8213-A ) or would you like to delete it from the order and continue with the other items? I do have to special order one more part which will take 3-5 business days for it to arrive at our warehouse.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
Kind Regards,
Ann
