Hello,
I'm [hopefully] in the process of buying a new-to-me 4th Generation Explorer and am torn between two trucks. For about the same price, I can get a very well-maintained 2006 Eddie Bauer or a lower-mileage 2008 XLT. Both have identical options. But I just can't stomach keeping the stock grill on the XLT if I went that route.
My question is would it be possible to simply buy an Eddie Bauer grill, remove the stock XLT grill, and swap in the Eddie Bauer one? The only thread I found mentioning this eluded to some "broken clips" which scares the heck out of me.
Also, I've searched some eBay sellers and the prices are under $200 - which I'm cool with. However, I noticed some Eddie Bauer shells have an extra chrome part that covers the bumper. Are there variations to the EB grills?
