Your truck inspired me to get mine. That was definitely a deal you got there. I was surprised to see that you ended up selling it!

I wish I could afford to keep both trucks. I just got bored and was ready to start a new build.
My '11 also had the exact grill the OP is looking for... a black 6 bar FX grill that I painted.

Looked good! Definitely better without the grey.

I purchased a 2013 STX about six weeks ago. Wanting to change the grille on it I purchased a used grille like the one on this truck. It is supposed to fit any trim 09-14 F150. Planing on painting it black I removed the insert from the trim/frame(?) I'll have to go and take another even closer look at this purchased grill because I'm not sure it will fit the existing trim/frame(?) on my truck. The bottom of the trim/frame(?) isn't as wide and the plastic clips(?) on the insert aren't the same either. It looked like it may still work but I'm not sure without trying it. Can someone tell me if this will fit or not before I start taking my grille apart and accidentally brake something and end up with two useless grilles. Thanks!

That grill won't fit your 2013 grill surround. You'll need a 2011-12 grill surround or a surround from a 2014 STX Sport.

Isn't http://www.ebay.com/itm/09-thru-14-F-150-OEM-Genuine-Ford-FX2-FX4-Model-Black-Grille-Paint-to-Match-NEW-/161742100364?hash=item25a894978c the same grille?
They say it fits my truck.... or is it that the whole assembly fits but the insert won't fit my surround?

You'll need the whole assembly and will need to have the surround painted to match your truck.

I have the whole assembly (it's used). It's the same color as my truck but the surround is kind of messed up on it so I was going to use my surround.

I kind of think the Tremor grill would look better on mine than the stx sport grill but I'm sure as hell not dropping the coin for one.
