Default F-Sport Grille Question

Going to get the F-Sport Grille installed with my '11 Bubbling Light Replacement

Part #: 5311253220

Sewell states "Grill Surround" and "Emblem" Sold Separately

Can my Grille Surround and Emblem be re-used? Sorry for the novice question.

It may be easier to just by a new emblem, but yes

The surround can be reused, the new grille just screws/clips into it.

The emblem is on with double-sided tape, I bought a new one.

emblem can be reused but if you take out the emblem from the old grille, it might crack. That's what happen when I tried taking it out. Just be careful and go slow.

^^^ What they said. Surround yes, good for swapping. When I did mine I just bought a new emblem. They are pretty cheap and the dealership. It's not worth the hassle re-using the old emblem and getting the old adhesive off, etc.

Yes, but I really think you should just get a new emblem like others are suggesting. Much easier and they're maybe $30.

Anyone with an 11 or 12 replace just the top Grille with The F-Sport Grill and not the bottom. Don't know if I should do both. Pictures anyone? Didn't realize until now there is a lower F-Sport Option - couldn't find it on Sewell.

I think quite a few people have done just the top. I did both because I wanted them to match.

It looks SO much better with the upper and lower grilles matching IMO.
