What makes you think people are upset because they are stating the obvious. We are not willing to over pay for that grille. That is simple household economics.

Supply and demand suggest that there is a limited supply of these grilles compared to the amount of people wanting to buy them. That is not the case here. I've see the overpriced 6 bar grilles sit on ebay and not get purchased a few times.

I am in my 50's so I know how business works. I know a sucker is born every minute and that it takes more that an overpriced grille to get me upset.

It's no difference than the oem hids being a $595.00 option on the 14' XLT! Try picking a Complete contented set with Wire Harness from the Dealer for that, LMAO!

Looks awesome. I'm going to go ask our parts guy tomorrow. Maybe I get a serious discount.

Exactly, why leave it at parts. How about entire trucks? My '13 FX4, EcoBoost, Screw had an MSRP of $52k, the '13 Raptor, Scab they had sitting on the showroom was also $52k.

I was able to get over $10K off my FX4 with little effort at all.

I asked if I could get the same deal on the Raptor and they said "We are only accepting offers starting at MSRP" he basically told me as friendly as possible, "We will let that Raptor rot in that spot on the showroom floor, before we sell it below MSRP" he was like I've got over 20 FX4's I can lose money on, but one Raptor.

I gave Steve@Tasca the vin# from a 2014 STX Sport that's at a local dealer and he found the part# for the grill.
