Hi, I was looking at your upgrades to your STX. Can you tell me where you got the mirror and door chrome pieces from? THANKS!

Looks good!
A bit of chrome is tasteful, IMO.

One person could do it.. but you would probably fuss, cuss and drop the bolts and nuts a few times.

Looked the item up today... Looks like they have jacked the price up a little.. I paid $115.
Search for "2013 F150 STX Chrome billet grill"

here's the current link:
2013 Ford F150 XLT FX4 FX2 STX 4pc Upper Billet Grille Chrome Kit F 150 13 | eBay
I was just about to buy them, but looking at the description now, they no longer use bolts/nuts/brackets to hold them in place. Apparently now they are using "tie straps". I cant justify spending $125 on the billet grill inserts and then zip tying them in place. That's just cheap.

Do you still have your old grille to sell. QUOTE=rs8005;2462823]Maybe someone can offer some help. I have been searching the forum but cannot find the answer i'm looking for.

I have a 2013 STX. I want to know if it is possible to change the black grill insert to a chrome version. Now, I don't want to change the white surround of the grill, only the black insert.

I have come across a user who changed his FX4 black insert to the Harley grill. Looks incredible, but I'm not sure I want to spend $700 on the HD grill. Was looking at something on the lines of the 6 Bar XLT in chrome. From what I read, the XLT grills cannot be separated from the edge.

Any help or advise is appreciated. I basically want to add some chrome, but keep the white matching surround to the grill. What are my options?? And if anybody has some pics to share, that would be awesome. I beilve this issue would apply to the FX4 grill as well as they have a color matched surround.

Thanks.[/QUOTE]
