I want to replace the cheesy plastic grill parts with a metal one (up front with the Ford logo). What is the easiest way to do this, and could someone e-mail me a little how to (or post it here) as well. I'm just about to install the home made Oil/Air separator as well, but I got all that covered. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Next reatach the ring the the grill. Thats how BP did his, & it looks really nice. Or you could opt to chop the grille out and spend 5 hours modifying & prepping my grill. I like BP`s way..... 98 LX, Eibach`s .... ICWrims / Potenza`s.... Svt kit w /duals... BASF Extreme Ocean paint( complete color change).... Bullit gas door.... Fuba DSM rear mount roof antenna.... Pre 98 trunk.... Blacked out headlamps, W/ Eyebrows.... A6 Side markers.... Shaved antenna and deck lid lock... 4 wheel disc brake conversion.... Magnaflow resinator.... SVT gauge cluster....(Yes the SVT gauge has a O/D light).... Complete mesh grill treatment, Not gutter guard.... Titinaum window tint.... Burgman custom Power window & lock conversion.... More to come as soon as i complete this one. Yeah its a LX but it has a 2.5 and it looks better then your ricer

I like the field of vision that the low beams and fog lights provide, so I added driving lights. Only problem is that these lights will melt the hell out of my grill. Oh well. It looks cool, until the grill starts smoking '99 Contour SE V6 w/MTX (Black Clearcoat) '02 Dakota 4.7L V8 2WD X-Cab (Flame Red Clearcoat)
