That hole in the front bumper? --> Problem solved!
If you're like me and live in a state that doesn't require a front license plate, you know that when you remove the plate holder, there's a great big gaping hole in the middle of your front bumper. I have scoured the internet for a lower billet grill for my 2011 FX4, and couldn't find one. I asked some posters on this forum too, but still wasn't able to find anything.
Last month, I went to my local truck accessories store to purchase a Bak-Flip F1 and there, hanging on the wall, was just what I was looking for. Turns out a local machine shop, just south of Detroit, started producing what I believe is a great solution. There have it in chrome and black. It even has the same radius curve as the front bumper.
Here's the before and after:

I think I paid about $80, but I added it to the bill after spending over a thousand, so, I may have gotten a deal.
The place I got it is called Lake Orion Truck Accessories. Website is lotaparts.com.

A plate doesn't cover the whole area like the insert. So not sure if that will be a problem.
It looks good on your truck though.
