I prefer the stock grill myself but if you like it, that's great!

I like it. I think a matching lower grille would look great with it. I have a hard time looking at the silver cross bars on the Taurus and Explorer. Ford should have offered them in body color at the very least. I'm kind of a sucker for body colored grilles though. I plan to have my MKS grille painted soon.

While I am not a fan, it is good to see you make the car your own. Enjoy it.

Definitely different!  Kinda reminds me of a grinning shark now :)

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Personally, I think it doesn't flow; a bit tacky and 90's-ish

I like the mesh grille or even the oem grille more. But it's your car and your preference. Just my .02

I'm with dave on this. like our grill, but as dave said & i explained to the boss we all are painting our own masterpiece & you can't expect everyone to agree with your taste. Go for it.

The install looks excellent.... Nice work!  :beer2: 
I do think that that adding the lower valence to match would be a plus.

I personally favor a mesh grille and would change to aftermarket mesh only to debadge the front..... but that's a personal preference.
You are the artist on your ride.... just continue to do whatever you do well as you mod.... You are the one who needs to like it.

as Jeff posted.. "If you can park your car and walk away without looking back you have the wrong car"

Keep on modding!  :thumb:

Not to shabby.

I agree with other posts, that a matching set (upper & lower) would've likely made for a more complete look!

Therefore, don't stop now! Keep the modding going & continue keeping the community updated! :ok:

Not wild about the look, it just doesn't seem to blend correctly.  But as others have said, if you like it "great".  But then again, when it comes to grills, I'm really picky, I still have yet to see one that I like better then the stock grill.....

I think tomc did a pretty nice job with his.  But yeah, stock is already pretty good.

Not really like it.  I never liked them on Lightning either.  Stock grill is decent piece.
