Ford Parts lists it as $ 1570.50 msrp. Looks to be about a dozen or less fastners. If I was a fan of the blacked out look now would be the time, but I'm not.

How bad is it if you push that grid back down into place? It looks like it just broke along the edge and very bottom. If those silver pieces are still intact, I would find a way to "rig" it until I hit something bigger.

I tried pulling it down a little but it didn't move. It's all plastic. Maybe with a heat gun to make it pliable you could pull it back and glue it - assuming the chrome coating is ok. I've got too many other things to do right now to play with it.

There's a new set of clones on the market -- the finer grille lines are black and not chrome

They photo'd it in a white light box so the chrome is reflecting white. Factory part is $1200

Be careful with the aftermarket products they might not be all they're quaked up to be.

Not sure if ya played with factory grilles, they're not very impressive. The aftermarket looks to be direct clones of ford's with every little detail in the same place. Wouldn't be surprised to hear they're made from ford's molds given this style is now out of date.

Chinesium parts being cheap is a given. It's just the factory parts aren't much better if there's even a difference. Not sure if ford is offering 24s in china, but if so, I expect their aftermarket to make some much better looking parts. I know the raptors are offered, already know someone who has their euro clear raptor headlamps (24).

That doesn't look too bad. I know reviews are all over the place on Chinese painted parts so longevity is difficult to determine.
