Does anyone know if this grille is in two pieces?
What I mean does the inner section remove from the outer surrounding bezel?
I have the magnetic gray trim around grille. I want to keep it to match the rest of the trim but have the FORD inside.

It's two pieces, you can separate the outside trim piece on the Ford Performance grill and use the outside magnetic grill trim piece in its place. It will take a little bit of trimming to get the two pieces flush together, but it'll work:

I did exactly what you want to do. It takes a little work but can be done. I too wanted to keep the Magnetice surround.

That's one way to lose the blue oval front logo I guess ? but then I'd want to have the 'FORD' painted to match the truck body. In my case it's magnetic but I've got a Lariat with the chrome outer trim - which I like. It would be a cool mod/combo

This has nothing to do with the grill, but my question to you is how did you get your front turn signals to run as day light running lights?

You can setup DRL modes in ForScan. I setup DRL mode for parking and fog lights on. There are many posts here on how to.

I ordered some vinyl decal letters that could be used over the letters as an alternative to painting, but what I ordered didn't fit. That was on me, they were for the letters on the Raptor-style grill (a different grill that other members have used) and are a different size. I thought they might be the same size, but... nope.

Although on mine, I'm just using the 'auto' setting on the dial in the truck. The pic is kinda misleading, it was nearly dark and in the garage, the headlights were fully on.

I think I'd look for chrome letters to put over the inserts if I kept the chrome trim. Still paint the overall part to give it a 3D effect.

Note: not Ranger grill:
