lol was looking thro some old grill threads and saw my truck pop up..... and to answer your question there is a **** load of cutting involved..... and for the 700 bucks you spend on the grille i was extremely disappointed in how the mount the grille.

on a side note.... not many people are crazy enough to buy such a $$$$ grille so you will be the only one around with it

 

In a f150 there is not suppose to be any cutting cause there are just screws in back and its easy in a ford. In GMC and Chevy's you have to cut and drill them in :l. But let me know how it goes
