2010 F150 Grille bottom brace piece?
Hi, I'm hoping someone here can answer a question for me.
A friend of ours had his 2010 F150 Platinum grille slightly damaged (the eggcrate insert piece bent in, but the overall frame good) so I installed a billet grille for him after cutting out the eggrate pieces. It looks really sharp, but I found that the bottom square tube brace piece that goes across the entire bottom of the grille is bent so things don't line up quite right. I don't have the tools to straighten that piece out properly, so I was wondering if anyone knows a part number for that piece if it exists as a separate piece. It would really go a long way towards getting the look of this truck where it should be.

Alas, there is no part # since the only way to get that piece from FoMoCo is to buy the entire grille.
Best bet would be to obtain one from a salvage yard or see if a member has one that they would part with.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Bending the mounting bracket back into place it is, then!
My dad just bought a 15 F150 XL...maybe I can convince him to let me put a custom grille on his. He's nearly 80 though, and doesn't care as much about such things.
