Ford Ranger Custom Grilles

Put this on my 2001 Ford Ranger Edge non XLT. It looks so sweet with new headlights! Four stars because it doesn't quite fit without a lot of work. The instructions were garbage, perhaps this is not an "open top" whatever that means. My Ranger has 3 plastic covers that cover the top of this and one each for the headlights. Took about 3 hours, since I had to relocate it once (lower). Job will go much faster without the headlights in place, since you'll be taking the old grill cover off a few times to get it fitted. The grill housing had it's old grill tabs cutoff so the new grill will sit flat against it. If not, there will be a gap between the new grill and the grill housing. The radiator shroud, soft plastic, is easy to cut with a box cutter for the top flanges of the new grill to lay in. The two lower flanges will need to be offset by about 1/2" to 5/8", somewhere in between. You can see the standoffs in the picture. The top four flanges of the new grill had to narrowed to fit into the slot, but only enough to be tight. You cannot bolt the top in, it just sits there, but not sloppy. I would give this a 5 star, but this is a lot of work, again, probably not made for this vehicle. The material is stainless steel, which is a better bang for the buck than aluminum. Was worth it for me!
