Can someone tell me if Ford stopped selling prepainted STX grilles? I had swapped one onto my 302A and just hit a deer. I tried finding what I ordered from ebay but couldn't find one in ignot silver, only primered ones. Any ideas?

Maybe find an aftermarket and have it painted? Paint shouldn't be overly costly. I've had it done for less than $100. Go to a body shop, not call or text, you might be surprised.

About to order an SE grille for my truck from my dealer, I will be having it painted to match, does anyone know if the paint to match grilles come pre primed?

why not just order the grill from the dealer in your trucks color? They come color coded

Here's a video I filmed 3 years ago in case any one needs a step by step on replacing the grille and headlights

That was my original plan, but when I tried to order it my dealer said that the color matched ones ( jL3Z-8200SH) were discontinued for a paint to match grille (jL3Z-8200SRPTM)

Your dealer is correct

Has anyone gotten one of these ebay knock off grills? I'm thinking about it as I love the STX grill.
