anything apart or just slides in and attaches?
There's a bigger thread about it where someone posted the instructions. The silver plastic piece below comes off. It took about 30 minutes all together.

I just ordered the Putco one hopefully doest take to long to get here..... I just didn't like the logo on the other one, I don't like putting logos on my truck. Funny, every time I get on this forum I find something new that I didn't know I wanted !!! :like:

funny last time I washed it, I was looking at the front end and wondering why ford left that open and what I could put there mesh or something ....... It just looks funny empty. this is better!

The Moutain Metal Grille insert looks good....Did you ever install it...If so please post a pic...I'am not a big fan of Putco Products.....They seem cheap! Thanks for the Post
It is still on the way, should be here this weekend. Once it's on I'll post pictures, but from everything I've seen on how the other one goes on, shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to install.

I ordered the Putco ACC lower grill. Just worried about pulling the facia off like the instructions say and break something. :oops:

I did it without breaking anything, so you don't have much to worry about. I usually manage to break something. The worst part was about half the clips stayed in the bumper. They're a PITA to get back on the plastic posts - to have to pry them open with a small screwdriver and push them on. If you slip and they close on your finger they bite. A little blood on the clips to help them stay seated!

I really like the look of the Mountain 2 Metal panel and the way it mounts is really clever. Hopefully they'll produce 1 with the ACC hole.

The first Mountain2Metal lower grille for trucks with adaptive cruise control arrived today. Took 5 minutes to install, just removed the 5 plastic snap rivets with a flathead screwdriver, lined the grille up and put them back in. Fills out the opening nicely

Good morning. How did you get it? I went to their website and says that they do only have the solid one, not the ACC. Also you did not have to take the facia off, just the 5 push pins? I appreciate the info.

Thanks. I don’t want to take the facia off. Just waiting for Jeb134 to find out how he got the one with the ACC cutout.
