Grill delete pics and installation impressions

[2013 Geee T]

I went with the kit from Steeda. Nice product but the instructions were the worst ever. It had pictures but it looked like it had been photocopied 100 times. Plus the instructions say something about taking out the old inner grill insert which applies only if you already have a Mach 1 because I didnt have an inner grill insert.

The rivets with the screws in the middle were a pain. The 2 attached to the facia wouldnt unscrew so I ended up prying them until I could get them loose. The screws just kept on spinning. zThere is no need to take off the bumper or the headlights at all. Just use a small rachet for the 4 bolts on the bottom as you bend the facia back. It took me an hour to do including looking online for better instructions. If I had to do it again it would take about 20-30 minutes.

Here are some before and after pics including one with no horse.

Mr UPS brought my Tri-ax handle to try on my Pro 5.0 as I was installing it so thats next!

I just installed a grill delete I bought from mustangtuning.com.
I believe it was also the Steeda setup. I originally had a grill
delete from CDC and it was total crap. As soonas I began to
install it the paint came off on my hands, plus it cost 125.00.
the one I have now is black plastic and is a nice piece. Install
was easy because I had done it before. The delete look is the
right look.

I think Ford makes the ones Steeda sells because the invoice said Ford Racing or someting like that on it.

Congrats on letting that pony out of the corral - the way it should have been IMO. Don't know why Ford only lets the 4v guys have the free pony. Also looks good with the chin spoiler.

Yea, I bought the Steeda one as well. Best one at the cheapest price I could find. I though the directions away once I got the old grill out, they were pretty useless.

Anyone have any issues with the double sided tape letting go eventually? I cant see how it could last forever.

I bought red 3M double sided tape for my delete. It's stuck since July and in this bitter cold MA winter

the inner grill the instructions talked about was that other black plastic piece that should have come with the kit...in all it should have come with the chrome pony, the curved black plastic part you see that goes on the bumper, and the inner grill which is held on by two plastic pins. It needed to be replaced so that the pony could be mounted correctly.

yes


BTW, these are great instructions along with the individual part numbers. The kits are the same price though.
