Ive never been a huge fan of grilles like that. Its a great alternative look, though, jsut not really my style...
Maybe if the grille didnt seem so flat. Like, if each horizontal bar had some depth to it, it would really bring out the look. And the Ford badge looks blacked out on that Ex. Ive always been proud to have the oval on my car I couldnt see myself taking it off.
All in all it looks pretty good. If only i had the money to buy a grille guard and that K&N intake...
