There is a spray nozzle on the bottom of the ford emblem that pops out and cleans the front camera when you activate the windshield wipers. Needs to be relocated with the camera swap

The CyberTruck fans are all a gaga over this feature which we already have... you should see how many posts are out there on YouTube showing how the CT even has a sprayer to clean the camera...

I wonder if he could do the same style grill but keeping the OEM Emblem.

This looks real good, Im jealous

I believe this is entirely possible! The grille essentially comes as a blank anyway. One could easily fire a couple holes into it to line up with the OEM emblem and mount it up!

I don't think you could fit the big black F-O-R-D letters if you kept the OEM emblem

JUST came across this grill on ebay and was ecstatic. Then moments later came across this thread and now am DEFINITELY buying for my Oxford White 2023 XLT. I've been clamoring for Rough Country or SOMEBODY to make a replacement grill so I'm thrilled to discover this exists AND glad I'll have your guide to help with install. I also love how it looks with the Blacked out Lightbar (as illustrated by ZAPTOR). Can't wait to order and get it installed, I think I may even get the FORD letters painted/coated/wrapped.... WHITE? Thanks again! looks great!

Can’t wait to see the results

Camera lined up decently but not perfect, gotta wait for sunny warm weather to hit my glue work with matte black but otherwise pretty pleased with it.

EDIT: Also going to completely black out the stupid white light bar, I hate it and tried to 'smoke' it with smoke plastidip back when it was warmer, but it's super uneven and pisses me off. Gotta wait for better weather but have matte black plasti-dip to fix it. Reminds me of the plastic the light cover in a refrigerator is made from lol.

Happy Sunday everyone

Just noticed the red recoverhooks. nice touch!

Thanks, they are just silicone covers. Cheaper and easier than a remove/reinstall and added a little girth to the anemic-looking stockers. https://hookproductsusa.com/product...xeHiivA7IFJI99qHsz0rVuFj1dC-u1dKI-64NUPMkNmdE

Really? Huh - is that on all trims? Either mine doesn't work, or I don't have that feature - been wondering how to clean the front camera without getting out of the truck!

For testing you can turn your front camera on and hit the windshield sprayer. You can at least see if the arm pops out. I know that '22 Lariat and Platinum had them. Not sure which trims say it was listed. There were so many options that come and go due to parts shortages, its hard to know exactly what trucks have what.

Thanks! My '22 Lariat has it - that was a simple but fun test

Looks great. Anyone have insight into installation with a front camera but the washer delete? My 2023 Pro with Tow Tech has the camera but not the washer.

hopefully seller will come up with a direct swap for camera. this looks fantastic

It’s not everyone’s cup of tea. But it’s different. Took a bit of modification for the camera and sprayer but I think it came out alright. My stock one is getting repainted after 40k miles of rock chips so it will be good as new when I decide to swap back. For now. I’m happy with being “different”

Looks awesome. I need to do this when I get my new Lightning. What was the cost on it? Great looking truck.
