Grille Change on the Sport

Finally found a factory painted 3 piece grille in red candy metallic.

 

Found this combination to be the one I liked best.

 

Have the painted middle grille in safe keeping if I ever decide on a change.

 

Got the idea from a picture of a Fusion at the Dearborn, MI Ford engineering test track that had this grille setup.

I love that grille!

 

Overall I despise the tri-bar grille (even the ones on the '13 Fusions) and wish Ford offered a honeycomb version. However, I like that combo! You chromed the center right? or was it chrome and you painted the other parts red?

Thank you GhostRider!

 

Originally had the 3 bar chrome.

Found a 3 bar painted grille.

Kept the chrome in the middle and added the painted outer bars.

I still have the center painted bar if I ever want a change.

I got rid of the lock washers on the bars and used wing nuts for easier removal if I choose to do so at a later time.

 

If you take off the bars (which you can do without removing the front end), be extremely careful with the areas that have the lock washers on them. Those areas break off fairly easily.
