OEM grille swap....questions on clips
I have a 2016 F150 XL with the standard black grill......and.......recently bought a 5 bar chrome grill off craigslist without any clips/fasteners.
1. Does the number of clips/fasteners vary, depending on the style of the grille? Wondering if it's a matter of switching clips from my old grill to the 5 bar, if there's enough of them.
2. Is there a parts page, showing the clips required for the 5 bar grille? I find the grill listed/illustrated, but not the clips.
Thanks for any and all help!!!

They shouldn't, I believe the mounting is the same no matter the grill, as long as it's the same year grill (F150 2015-2016). Swapped mine out with a Raptor style after market grill, had all the same mounting. My style grill will fit F150's from 09-14.

I just did this swap last week myself. You can reuse all your clips and screws from your truck.. go into the search box on this page and type in how to replace grill and someone did a pretty good job showing a how to with pics...
