on the 04-08 models, they have the chrome grille surrounds, are these surrounds themselves replaceable or will i have to get an entire new grille? also, how much would a new one of these pieces cost?

the chrome on mine is scratched to hell from a wash job with a s***ty sponge, and i'd love to replace it.

 

someone correct me if i am wrong but i think the surround and grille are one piece. ive seen after market ones for 100 bucks and up on fleabay.

 

yeesh not what i was hoping to hear haha. i was thinking they were a seperate piece because some billet grilles let you take out the honey comb grille piece but keep the surround, right?

 

the grills ive seen were all one piece except for the billet insert.....i supposed if you were handy with some tools you could cut it out and make it your own. putting whatever insert you wanted into it....

 

yeah i guess you're right, i might just have to do that. i was hoping for a simpler route haha. but thanks for your help!

 

On my truck the grill is separate from the outer ring.

 

that's how i was hoping mine was. so i could leave the honey comb and replace just the chrome outer ring?

 

sorry to dissapoint...you will have to find an used full grille on ebay ...ford will not sell you the outer ring but the whole assembly.

 

Just keep an eye out in the sales section here too.
