Am I the only one that thinks Ford needs to improve front grill designs?

[amschind]

They're really bad, but also really easy to replace. I found a Raptor knockoff whose Copyright workaround was sending the letters separately such that the end user has to screw them in ("Judge, we swear we didn't know they'd use them to spell 'FORD'....we meant for it to say 'DRFO'!"). It's not my favorite, but it is much lighter, keeps the front camera in place, and works fine. I would prefer a back aluminum mesh unit without any logos, but I'm still waiting to find one.

There are several raptor knock off grilles with honeycomb and no letters for under $200. I thought about it but I'm doing a color stripe first like a Tremor to see if I like it.

Yeah I looked just after I posted and found that there are way more options now.

Circling back to this thread, I just put on the vinyl from Etsy, I do think it’s an improvement.
I got a few bubbles in my first side I did, the second came out perfect.
I’m gonna hit them up for a new side if the bubbles don’t come out.
Or maybe look at the color matched ones from tuffskinz.

Tufskinz is a thin strip that doesn't cover the whole front face. I think your vinyl looks better covering more of the bar.
I'm not thrilled with how this looks. I'll keep it for a while because removing all that glue is more headache than I have time for right now.

I'm oldish lol and I think you have to be all in or all out with chrome. I don't like chrome wheels with black door handles etc.

My sport pkg has zero chrome except for the tailpipe piece that is welded on. I looked up and priced changing it out but welded is better than clamped so I lost interest once I had the BedRug and BAK Revolver X4s installed. I said to myself I'll get around to it but I probably won't.

I ordered a Lariat sport package (chrome delete) with tow mirrors. The f'in mirrors came with chrome caps! Pissed me off, had to switch them out as soon as I picked it up

Funny because I was thinking of swapping to the high end tow mirrors but I don't want them because all I can find are chrome.

The black caps were inexpensive and pretty easy to swap. I'd rather have the standard mirrors, but I hate the strap on mirrors when I tow my camper.

Here’s your best looking grill and colour setup boys

301A don’t mind if I do

I think they look pretty good, the color match is better than mine.

Better shot in the daylight.

I hate the painted black ones , it does not match the plastic bottoms , and the body coloured ones are even worse … I don’t mind the Crome ones. You have to go bap to get rid of all chrome

You can't get the 6.5 bed with BAP. I wanted the BAP just for dual exhaust, but the small bed was not an option for me.

I like some of the f150 grills but not all. I suppose if everyone liked all of them there would be no point in so many styles.

XLT sport with the basic LED headlights is mint!

Here is my XL BAP color Avalanche.
