I ordered the silver SE grill today $114 estimated shipping, I hope that drops down when they fulfill the order. Part JL3Z-8200-SA. I measured my emblem and it's 9.5" with the black bezel, so it should swap over and save me $30.

If you’re going from an XLT to the SE/STX grill the emblem will not swap over. The black bezel is much deeper in the standard XLT grill. This thread has all the info and part numbers. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/offic...thread-410949/

Thanks, I emailed Tasca to include the emblem. Hopefully they'll get the memo.

Pretty sure it's this one. I bought mine from someone local that said he only had it on for a month which saved me some money. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Honeyco...71c2:rk:5:pf:0

I can take some pictures of the fitment to show you up-close if you would like.

Fit isn't perfect but only noticeable up-close and looking for it. Quality is good enough for me considering I spent $275. I don't think it's as good as OEM but I think it's good nonetheless.

Not out of the box. I would assume you could probably modify it to but I have no personal experience.

I agree. Not as great as the 2015-2017s but they look excellent with the Raptor grille. I think a lot of people have issues with the 2018 Anzos because they don't like the attention it brings to the center of the truck. I now love the attention it brings because I no longer have the hideous XLT Sport grille that came stock.

Does anyone know if there is a company that sells a bracket kit to install cubes in the factory STX grille openings? I like the stock STX grille but would like to add some spot light cubes in there. Thanks .

New on the forum here. I have a 18 Lariat SE, Ingot Silver. I like the factory honeycomb grille that came with the truck, but kinda liking the raptor style with "FORD" even more. Problem is the the 360 front camera. I know earlier on this thread, there was a mod made for the camera mount and it was remarkably done WELL...Great job! I don't think I'll be able to do as nice a job as that, so I'm gonna wait for a raptor style grill that has the mount with it...lol.

Anyone know if one has come out yet? Been looking around and couldn't find one.

Those headlights look awesome. Are they Ford OEM led? I haven't seen black ones before.
