Who the hell has a 2014 STX Sport Grill just laying around at a swap meet AND the seller has no clue what it's worth AND it happens to be the same color as your truck AND it's in excellent condition??? The odds of those things happening simultaneously are about the same as winning the Mega Millions jackpot, seriously.
That particular grill is over $600 new from Tasca, not including the paintjob... I just asked Steve@Tasca about that exact grill the other day.

And that's a 2014 grill from an STX Sport, not a 2013... I don't think the Sport package was offered on the 2009-2013 STX's...
Awesome looking truck by the way.

SMFH...

The stars were all in alignment Saturday morning.
I've paid full price for everything I've bought for that truck so far.
I did get my console for $60, from Middleton auto parts.
And, I did get my FX nose for $100 from a member on here.
The grill does have a broken clip, and a small crack, so it's not in excellent condition.

I can't see the decal on it, but from ford it had a 9-23-2013 build date on it, I do know it's a 14 model grill.

Some 3M seam sealer on the middle clip keeps it down tight to the hood, although I'm not sure it needed it.
And the crack is unseen.

If you know how Fowlerville is, it's small. Like our walmart has more people in it now small.

The guy had a trailer full of plastic from everything on it, all of it had some defect or another, I'm thinking it was all bodyshop takeoffs that he was capitalizing on.

Swap meets are where it's at for used parts, epay won't get you good deals, but you can find what you are looking for there.

I was actually still scouring carpart.com for a six bar grill when I found this.
Try that carpart.com site, that's where I found my console for $60.

Awesome Find!

I'd love to swap out my 2012 FX grey 6 bar for a all black one like that.

Sort of like the 2013-2014 Mustang grilles. Grab the grill on either end, count to three, and pull it straight out. Done, and done.

Grille pull out is at 0:54 seconds.
