Can anyone help me find a chrome grille surround for an 06. I'm wanting to order a Roush grille but it doesn't come with the surround, and I can't find one anywere. I could put in the painted one I have now but I think it would look better in chrome.

If you buy the newer version of the Lariat chrome grill it comes complete and is about the same cost. It's basically the exact same grill except it will require you to use an emblem (smaller emblem). Here it is.

You can save about $100 if you buy it direct from www.tascaparts.com enter the part number #7L3Z-8200-BA for the cost.

By smaller one do you mean smaller than the one thats on my truck now?

If your emblem is the same size as mine then yes it's smaller (It's pretty small). Here is the emblems on the grills I've had/have on my truck VVVV

Their both the same size and is the same size as used on the XLT/FX4/HD and King Ranch. More than likely the answer is yes it is smaller than the one you have and you will need to buy a new emblem if so. The emblem is recessed in the newer version grill so you don't have the option to not use it. Other than that it is the same grill.

What is that in the opening on the bumper in your first pic?

Both grilles look great by the way, where did you get them?

That was the Putcu vertical bars. They go with a vertical grill they make. I won that in an auction on ebay for a penny plus 14.99 for shipping. I figured for 15$ I'd see how it looks. It's know longer on the truck.

Look at post number 4. I added a couple pictures of the newer version of the grill offered from Ford as a factory installed one. I think the emblem looks smaller in person than what those pictures show. My emblem completely covers 4 bars and hangs over a little on top and bottom bars. The other only covers 2 and part of the other two. You can also see that it recesses in the bars instead of having to clamp over them.

I bought the HD grill on ebay shortly after I bought my truck, back in 06. Later I bought the Roush grill from Roush. In both grill you can see I used my chrome surround.



If you don't like the ressesed look and want to save a couple dollars THIS GUY (who I don't know) has a used one for sale. He is selling it with or without the surround for 140 w/o or 170 w/surround

I sent him an email the day after he posted it for sale and he already had it sold. He did say that if the sale falls through he would let me know.



I do like both of the grilles you posted earlier, now I just need to convince the wife that I need to spend $300 on a grille
