Hello All,
Hopefully tomorrow this time, I'll have my "new" Ford Explorer!
While I'm looking to do some things to it down the road, I was looking for some starting points in regards to the cosmetics. Specifically, I was looking at doing the following:
1) "EXPLORER" Emblem
The truck I'm getting is a '99 Explorer. On the rear of the vehicle, like the others, it has the word "Explorer". I was thinking about removing this and popping on the exact same thing but from a 2002+ model. I like the way the newer trim looks.
My question is if I remove the old word/trim, are there any holes or is it just adhesive? Likewise, if I pop on the word from one of the newer trucks, does that one have any holes or is it just adhesive?
And finally, regarding this question - is the word all one piece or is each letter individual?
2) Beehive Grill
The other thing I was looking to do is to remove the stock outer grill and replace it was the equivalent beehive grill. When I've looked around, the only thing I can find are Billet grills and other more aggressive looking inserts.
My question is: Is there a standard plain black beehive grill that fits into a '99? Like the ones used in later years and also on the later year Rangers.
Example:
Thanks for any input! I'm excited!!!
