Black Grill

[mercfirst]

A fender bender this past weekend puts me in immediate need of a grill, preferably stock. My local Ford dealer is quoting me $300, and I'm wondering how much better than that I can do, whether or not it's worth my while. The ride is already scheduled to be worked on as soon as other parts on order come in, so I need to tell the Ford guy soonest whether or not to go ahead and pull the trigger on the grill; thanks.

They still sell the black ones at ford if I remember it's going to cost you an arm and a leg !

He already mentioned that his Ford dealer quoted him $300..he knows this.

There are a few marauder part outs going..grilles go quick..but look in the parts for sale section...either that or ebay for aftermarket grille

Certift.com has a store in Walpole, MA and they do mail order and list marauder grille that will need painted for $65..you can call the store to see if they stock it or buy it online and ship it..as they do not carry every item in each store..I bought a crown vic grille before from certift and it was fine. The $300 Ford grille is already painted to match

That much? Cheaper from Tascaparts. Why do some stealerships rip people off with such high markups?

www.tascaparts.com has them only in black for $195

Tasca ford told me that the black grille is no longer available also. Looks like aftermarket or used is the only way to go now.

I scored out of production items from lombardford.com - called before ordered and he scoured dealership warehouses.
