I have a '19 FX4 Lariat, but with the chrome package. Is there one of these with chrome FORD letters, or does anyone have any ideas for us "chromies"? :)

What do you mean pry down?

Do you have a picture of the older grills tabs?
Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the tabs. When looking down at the tabs it looks like you need to put the screwdriver under the tabs to pry/push them up. However, you need to put the screwdriver on top of the tabs and push down. I recommend beginning with one side by the headlight and work to the other side. Also, pull on the grill as you push on each tab. I started on the passenger side and worked toward the driver’s side. I also, used a car wash sponge to wedge between the grill and headlight until I got to the third bottom tab. I hope that helps.

You might be able to have a shop chrome plate the letters or maybe have them wrapped. My tint shop does car wraps and I believe I saw chrome available. You might be able to do it yourself if you feel adventurous. Amazon has rolls of it for about $10.

Are you going to chrome your FORD letters?
No, I am not. I am removing or blacking out all chrome except inside the headlights. I have the sport package so only the badges are chrome. I am considering paintIng the letter magnetic to match the truck though.

Hope this isn't a terrible thing to say, but I liked the factory version better. I really just love the magnetic truck with magnetic grill combo.

I completely understand and I have been toying with the idea of painting the surround magnetic to match. I am adding red accents around the truck as well so might do the letters in red.

It was only a matter of time.

I think this is available in the Brazilian market. Along with the Ranger Storm.
