15-17 grille fits in 2011?

[Kjhawkeye1]

Just curious if anyone knows whether a 15-17 experience grille fits in a 2011 expy. Thanks for any info!

I want to say It will not I'd think the mounting locations are different. I believe on our style it also protrudes out more forward than the new grille.

Seems like the headlights, grille, upper and lower bumpers are different...not sure if ALL of them can't be swapped over as a set, though

Ok, thanks for the thoughts. My grille started peeling and wondered if I could give it a newer appearance with one of those grilles. Maybe just snag something off a salvage vehicle or an aftermarket.

Ford still makes the original style grille if you go to Fordparts.com. All the government use expys are still the same style as yours even the 17'. They also have them new on eBay. You will have to buy a new Ford badge too it's a separate piece that stuck on the front. I hear you on the grille I kinda like the newer grille. I go back and forth on it some days I think the 07-14 looks better and some days I like the 15-17 front end even though they are so close anyway.

The biggest problem with my grille on the limited is it's very shiny chrome and it's always dirty.

Standard chrome grille pops up every once in a while for ~$100 new online, but often not in stock...

You could also plastidip it black.
