f-150 grille

[STJAMES]

I like the honeycomb look so I was wondering if this would fit the expy. Grille Grill Black Honeycomb Front for Ford F150 F250 Expedition | eBay

I doubt it's oem would it have fitment issues? f-150 and expys that are the same years (2000-2003) should pretty much have interchangeable fronts right?
I just want the grill, lightning headlights, and a TAG front bumper.

Do you guys think there would be fitment issues with a TAG bumper and 2000 f-150 grille on 2000 expy?

I believe a couple have tried this a 4-5 yrs ago and it didn't work becuz the f-150 grille is attached to the hood...not sure if the honeycomb will be able to come out and fit directly into ur grille...u can try and let us all know

If its the whole grille (frame+insert) then it *should* fit.

Between the F150 and expe the grille frame and insert are different. I found this out when i was doing a retrofit of the Lightning insert. The bottom portion of the F150 is narrower than ours

 

[STJAMES]

I see so how did the lightning retrofit go? I was looking at LMR.COM and they have the frame+ insert. This is what they have ---> https://lmr.com/item/FTP-8200B/1999-00-Ford-Lightning-Grille-With-Honeycomb-Center Is this what you have? Did everything install right?

I decided to go another direction - I kept the grille stock and instead installed Hella 500s and went for this look

Damn! Nice and clean! Making me want to just keep the stock one and paint everything one color! (except the ford emblem)

Thanks - I know my expe cant compete with the escalades and navigators. But one thing I can do and been told many times is that its clean. Not bad for a 16year old daily driver

I have a grille from a 99 F-150 installed in my ex, was a direct bolt on. Only thing that was different was the grill insert. Couldn't use my original as they were off a little bit.

Correct - the insert and the frame are meant to go together. Both grille and frame combo will fit either vehicle but they must be a matched pair
