Could you post a pic of the trimming that had to be done ?? And is the Ford emblem 7" or 9" ?

Looks great! Thanks for pioneering the install. Any pics with the hood closed and further back?

I know you said you'd wait a while for the marker lights but I'm still curious; who's gonna be the first to do them?

@Joe Holcomb Did you by chance explore swapping the "FORD" lettering only over to the US Spec front grill?

I did not. I dont think that’s possible, but I will revisit that on Wednesday when I finish the install.

After seeing all the nuts on the backside of the grill, I wonder if this would fit ? It's a complete replacement of the center of the grill with a mesh background and F O R D lettering. Thoughts @Joe Holcomb ?

So, this happened. Hardest thing was getting the old one out, bottom clips are a mofo. The fitiment isn’t exact, but close. Had to trim a wee bit off the bottom corners. The mounting points at the bottom are not the same but will work with some patience. With a little more time I will get it perfect.

Damn that looks good. I am so doing this. Next person doing this needs to do a walkthrough for less mechanically inclined people like myself.....I call for raptor grille group buy one day

Finished product! A little more trimming on the bottom right corners, approximately 1/8” taken off in depth approximately 1” wide. Grille secured at factory mounting holes.

Looking VERY GOOD @Joe Holcomb ! I don't suppose you took pics of where you cut did you?

Nope, but it wasn’t a lot, right hand bottom corners.
