There’s this grille for sale near me and I want to know if it will fit my 2019 XLT, it’s listed as a 2021 lariat grille but can’t seem to find more photos of one similar online. Is it OEM?

It looks like an OEM takeoff and it appears to have some missing and/or broken retention tabs. Folks often break the tabs removing the grille.

It doesn’t look like there are enough workable tabs. Three appear to be broken and some seem to be snapped off completely. I think there are supposed to be five across the bottom.

Other members have reported no issues after installing one with a single broken/missing tab but I’m not sure I’d trust that one very much.
