Anyone know where I can find this front grille? The ad is for the bar, but I am looking for the blanked off grille.

Thanks,

Contact the place that has the bar. They should know.

The letters are probably removable as the factory grill shell does not come with them. Search ebay for "bronco sport front grill".

Ford is very touchy with their logos. It may also be a photoshop job by the seller of the bar to avoid any trademark issues from Ford.

Similar to the sellers of the Raptor style grilles for F150s and Edges. They ship them with "nonsense" looking badges, then during install you actually attach the letters so it says "FORD". All to avoid trademark issues.

The stock grille has recesses and holes for each letter:

Wow. I thought I had searched. I'd like to eventualy get rid of m carbonite grey grill; and this would also make it MUCH easier to add the B.R.O.N.C.O. Oracle LED lettering if you wanted to. Definitely filing that link and that part number away.

Yep....my 2007 F-150 has the raptor grill that cam with "DORD", and the letter F was sent seperately.

What got you all the way down the rabbit hole of taking the letters off of your grill? ?

To me, the Bronco lettering and the daytime running lights make the statement for the Bronco. Just looks so great.

It definitely would have made it easier. Had to do some very creative 3m tape crafting with my install.

The grille in the picture is almost certainly photoshopped. To get that nice smooth look without the recesses for the letters, Onyxthebronco had to remove the letters, use Bondo to fill the recesses and then sand and paint. Check out my build post for a link to his Instagram to see how he did it before installing his Oracle LED lettering.

Once I get through my current honey do list of things around the house, I'd like to do some of these mods seen on this forum.

I won't live long enough to do them however.

At first I thought I wanted what the OP is looking for. Now I have decided that I want a tamed down version of the Bronco lettering. It requires me to do more work and a friend with a 3D printer to help.

Where there’s a will, there’s a market. They also sell overlays to cover the recesses.

Hah, no kidding! The market will provide.

OP has a Badlands with a gray grille...wonder if they make these little covers in gray as well as black? I'm also wondering what they look like in person. Hopefully they blend in decent enough with the grille and don't just stick out like a sore thumb. It would look like a censor bar that stops the grille from saying a naughty word. ?

Does an OEM badlands grill fit on a big bend? Essentually the same shape right?
