Is this the best route versus painting the existing OEM grill? I have a badlands and want the grill black ala Wildtrak.

I mean it’s totally up to you. If you like the grill you have, see if it’s cheaper to paint rather than buy a new one and then choose.

Glad I found someone to trade! @Lambeezy

It worked out so well for both of us. Hope you love yours as much as I've been loving mine.

I had the same experience not knowing the BRONCO letters were separate when I ordered my Big Bend grille as a replacement. The letters cost an extra $100... got them through dealer.

I got the extra letters as I am going to custom paint the grille and outer parts of the letters and want to have them swappable.

I'm pretty sure that the replacement grill for Badlands and WildTrak is the same, and comes unpainted.

part number for the letters?

The letters are easily transfered Just check out budget Bronco on you tube he removed them to paint them and put them back on. He is also here on this forum.

From what I saw when I watched an Oracle lighting install they have the little melted studs on the back of the grille you have to drill out to remove

Yes they also have locator pins just drill out the melted part and put them on your new grille with a good 15 minute epoxy. Check out budget Bronco on you tube.

Does anyone know if the unpainted grill will hold up Or does it need to be painted. I just installed my unpainted grill and attached my oracle letters. Do i have to i un-assemble to fix this issue?

Not sure, but would like to know the answer to your question as well. Which grille is this btw? And how closely does it match the other factory matte black trim on your truck? I’m considering doing the same…

I have a extra Big bend grille if anyone in Northern California wants it

how much? would you ship it?
