wow i didn't think there was somebody who would replace the grille i started on mine not yet finished i put it on youtube type in rcsmaxx on the searh bar then click on my video there one of my sport sport trac tell me what u think laters
 






Correct me if Im wrong, but would replacing the grille be as easy as dremeling out the old one with a steady hand and attaching the new? Assuming the new is the grate looking metal like the pic and video?

Nice rims lol. I've got the same ones. I like the blackout look :thumbsup:
 






To give you an idea of what the overlay looks like, here's a pic of mine. Black powder coated billet overlay I got off e-bay. I had my doubts about an overlay at 1st but after finding out I'd have to do some cutting for a replacement grille I was set on the overlay. Did NOT want to cut into anything lol. The seller I bought from makes grilles for anything and they have great customer service when I called about installation... They install using zip-ties, yes, zip-ties. I couldn't believe it so I called and the guy explained it to me and assured me it would be fine. I ordered and installed the pieces and he was right. Once the ties are tightened it does not move at all and you barely see the ties from the front at all unless you're looking for them. Looks killer imo. If you want the sellers name I can get it for you. Hope this helps.

You have to upload your pics to a photo-hosting site, like photobucket.com, then copy that image code and paste it into the 'insert image' tab that you see above the reply box on this site.

I wouldn't mind knowing the seller's name, and what bull bar is that? I love that look.

I'm about 95% sure that's a hunter truck gear bull bar from eBay. I have the same thing just with a skid plate instead of the bars.

And I too would like the sellers name
 






Yes, that is a Hunter "Super Bull Bar". They do sell em on ebay but I ordered mine right from truckgeardirect.com and the total was 10 bucks cheaper than if I'd ordered from ebay. I love it!

Here's the info on the grille. The link below is to the ebay listing. The sellers ebay name is utvproducts. Phone # to thier shop is (727)848-3300.
I ordered mine over the phone because I was already on the line with them about the questions I had, they just sent me a paypal payment request. Also, I wanted the black powder coated set and they were $10 more I think. Very much worth it, I love the look. Any more questions i'd be happy to help.
