Mine has a 6" x 6" piece cut out to clear the motor for my pusher fan. Should I post a pic of that?

Since it's been a year since I've had headlights, I'll consider mine a custom grill. ;)

It is a newer grill modified to have the old style lights, so that's custom, right?

I just restored my grill and really hate thos thick rubbber mounts on the turn signal lenses. It looks like the lenses you used, earlier style, install without using the rubber mounts? Is that correct? What kind of modifications did you have to do?

Found a link with the procedure. Looks like I just cut out the bracket and bend the tabs in for mounting. I have to do this...

Prolly not a lot. Anything else would just be screwing it up. I cant imagine, especially with the way it is designed, that anything would actually look good.

I have contemplated a second set of round headlights in place of the turn signals, a little smaller than the headlights, kinda like Big Oly.

I think the grill is one of the sacred parts of the rig that makes it an EB

perfect as is, no reason to change

I kinda think that aside of Big "Oly", there hasn't been much else out there that looks right. I gotta go with Rox CO Bronco on this one and say that Henry got it right the first time and we need not fix what ain't broke.

At $500 for a new grill I can see why owners are creative w/ the Bronco II and other grills. I do agree that Ford hit a home run w/ the EB grill but these other Ford grills dont look that bad IMO
