I dont like the Escape Grill. I have a few ideas - give me your thoughts on which one is the best. My suv is gunmetal. Maybe some of our photoshop experts can help.

Stock Grill



#1
Paint the vertical support bars in the centre black and leave center bar and outside edges chrome.

#2
Paint grill (or is it grille?) gloss back

#3
Colour match the grill to the car

I wish there was an aftermarket landrover style grille

Once you go black, you never go back.

Think so? I know it looks good on the all black one I just wonder if it will stick out too much on the gunmetal.

Painting I can do myself and get pretty good results so it's pretty much free.

Hmm might stand out too much since the grill sticks out a bit



Yes I have a problem modding cars since every company does something to their cars that I have to fix.

This is a stock one with the sport appearance pkg lol.

That looks fucked because the bumper is done. If the bumper piece was colourmatched and the grille was black it would be ok, but i don't think you are down for that look. I personally like it though.

Just colourmatch it if that's what you want.

Anyway, i gotta get off this site, i want to get the fuck out of the office.

have you ever measured the rover grill?
that would be a nice project to retro that on.
dont know if you wanna spend that time/money/effort though

just use the blue oval instead of the rover logo.


or just paint it a matte silver/metal like the rover instead of all black.
you could always re-paint it if it looks weird.

I love that whole black theme that Ford has going on with a few of their models.. I'd definitely do that over the bling bling.

Grill now painted black and some of the inner grill removed- unsure if I like it. Ford symbol tinted dark with vht niteshades + clearcoat. Headlights stand out. I think I will paint the vertical bars in the lower grille black. Headlights and foglights will get light tint lamin-x on them. Or I can paint the grille to a light silver colour - as mentioned before if anyone can photoshop this it would be great.

I think it would look wicked if the foglight surrounds were also black.

You should also take the headlight housings apart and paint those black also

looking good Jeff with the current setup
if you can smoke the headlight or apply a darker tint to the headlights then it's perfect

i think it looks better than stock, but i agree with you, it's too much black and the headlights stand out. If i were you i'd paint the ends of the grille (about 1 inch from the ends) the same colour as the car. That way you colour match an inch off each end and it will look like the headlights are surrounded by gunmetal and the grille is seperate and black. I will try to "chop" it later today.

it looks really weird not to have a ford logo there. perhaps lighten on the darkness on the logo?

black out the headlights or at least throw a very light tint on the headlights and the fog lights and you'd be set.

The logo looks darker in pics but it looks like a dark chrome. Im most likely going to "untint" the centre so you can see the word FORD better.

LOL they're 16's. Tiny for the car. The tire size is 235/70(yes 70! lol)/16

I have 20x8.5's that are being shipped as we speak. 255/45/20 Silver with machined lip.

My dad saw the grill and said I should colour match it since it "looks like a base model F150" haha.

I'll put some more pics up when I get everything on there (HID, Lamin X lights, LED fogs, Rims, I also debaged the rear)
