Got my oxford white mirror caps and Lariat sport grille coming in the mail this weekend for my oxford white XLT sport package. I thought I had the right emblem but I just realized that the emblem bezel does not come off from the XLT grille. So I ordered correct ford emblem with bezel today

The best price I've found was $200 for the pair I think..

Oh I thought you might've found found painted ones on the cheap...
I have a scratch that I'll eventually take to get professionally repaired. So I might buy the same and have them hit those at the same time.
I'm still in the market for a painted Sport grill in Metallic, but the chrome mirror caps drive me nuts for some reason.

I swapped my XLT Sport grill for the STX yesterday. It took me about an hour. I ordered it online through Ford's parts website. I had to order a new emblem too but it was only about $20. I am so happy with the way it turned out. If anyone is looking for a Sport grille, I've got one I'd part with, make an offer.

T-Rex billet grille insets finally installed. Yes, you do have to cut the top and bottom portions out but the fit and finish is spot on!!! Took a good 4 hours by the time I removed the stock grille from the truck, cut out the existing grille, sand all the cuts flush, check fitment and then installing everything.
Next step is to wrap the main middle part satin black to tie it in with everything else. I did have it wrapped, in the top pic, but to do it right I will have to take it off the truck... Again... Maybe a spring project.

Ajb, it does look better wrapped. Billet inserts look pretty cool too.
