Swapped out my Badlands grille with an IAG gloss black grille. Bought an OEM camera housing and Bronco letters to finish it off.

Fitment of the grille is 8/10. It required some flexing to get all the clips to line up. Top corners above the yellow side markers had a small gap that I do not remember being there before (See photo) maybe I’m wrong.

It was about the same price as the OEM grill. But the OEM one comes in a matte black primer only. I searched for companies to paint the grill and got estimates anywhere from $200-$1500.

Thank you. I'm assuming it only comes primed?
Yeah just primed unfortunately. I’m going to get some paint and clear coat down the road and do it myself since it’s just a small part. Touch up direct has Ford gloss black in rattle cans. Wouldn’t paint a hood with it… but the small camera cover should be fine

You could try some gloss black vinyl as well. Mine was originally grey (swapped my Badlands grille for a Wildtrak grille) and I wanted to try vinyl out before painting it just to see if it'll work. I used 3 pieces in total, one for the front/top face and one one piece for each of the sides. The corners aren't perfect but you can't really tell.

I am contemplating making this change (swapping a wildtrack style grille with my badlands). Can I ask why you need a new camera housing? Aren't the cameras in the same locations on the wildtrack and badlands grilles?

You can use the same camera housing. They are the same part number.
