I've seen those as well. He also makes a diamond shaped one with a F150 stamped in the middle which would fit the new '13 grille.
Let us know about the quality of the product when you get it. I have been hesitant about paying that much money for one. But if its made well...

Here is the diamond shape one. The install could not be easier and the quality is great. I put a row of black tape along the top and the bottom to give it a framed look.

does your truck sit a little high in the back? i have a RC 2.5 level in the front and 3" readylift blocks in the rear and mine seems to be an inch higher in the back.

Ok. Thanks. Great looking truck btw. What offset are your wheels. I have the -18 on mine and the 33's were rubbing like hell. I had to do some trimming. I wouldn't even try 35's without a lift.

I've been looking for a lower grill insert for the truck since I got it ...and couldn't settle for the run of the mill generic ones. Found this baby today and just ordered it up.

Can't wait to see how it fits ! I'm not selling these or know much about them... But stoked to find its made just for our Platinums
Anyone see one if these inserts that says Ford or similar that would match in with a 2010 XLT with the 6-bar grille? Anyone have a link? I see only this one and a black one for FX4 on eBay.

Mine are -12 offset, I had to trim pretty aggressively but in the end it was well worth it. Thanks man, yours looks great too, I really like it.
