Possible approach: I like the idea of painting the grill. Maybe 12? coats of clear plasti dip after that.

I have a Lariat ER with the “dull” front grill. It takes every rock on the road and after 3,000 miles it’s already getting chips. Has anyone found a solution to protecting the grill? I had PPF installed on the front end but they said they can’t apply it to the grill because it’s not a painted surface.

Thanks in advance.

I plan to cover the front grill with Line-X Ultra (https://www.linex.com/ultra) coating.

My 22 platinum grill looks like it might as well have 300k miles on it. I'm at 33k. Ford refuses to replace it.

Has anyone been using a mesh grill cover over the air entrance to the radiator? Met a guy today while we were charging and he said it keeps the leaves and debris off the slanted radiator.
I found one online but was wondering if the community had any experience.

I bought one a few months back. I love it. Mostly for aesthetics though. That big huge hole there annoys me. Also helps of a rock gets thrown into it so it doesn't break the vents behind it.

While I like it, it is about $40 overpriced for what it's made out of.

Yeah, like everything else for the truck it's overpriced. I ordered one to keep leaves and the like off the radiator.

Good. It just makes a little detail difference. But you're right. everything costs more. Could get a metal piece at Home Depot to do the same thing but I'm not going to spend all day cutting up a piece of metal and my hands. LOL

It looks just like it does in the site photos.

Before I install it, I will make a template off of it and I may make a metal one just for kicks. Or if a rock smashes it.

Has anyone bought the mudflaps for the lightning from Ford? The point redemption site doesn't have pictures. If you have, will you post pictures please?

Just plastic?

Right Down to the zip ties. I was less than pleased when it arrived.

There was nothing on th web site that said plastic.

What about the bed liner coating only make it silver color. Didn't they create a whole truck with that coating?
