How to Install E & G Q Upper Overlay Grilles - Polished (09-12 Lariat, King Ranch) on your Ford F-150

1. For factory grille inserts that are painted argent or silver, you must tape around the inserts, completely covering the chrome or painted grille surround. Paint the inserts semi-gloss or flat black to conceal them once the “Q” grille sections are bolted into place.

2. Trim the closed ends from the preinstalled black cap plugs located on each mounting stud and push them down over the studs, making sure that a 1/4” of threads are exposed.

3. Remove the protective covering from the grille sections and use a mild solvent and a soft, clean cloth to remove any glue residue remaining on the grille sections. Clean any solvent residue with glass cleaner and a soft, clean cloth.

4. Align the “Q’ grille sections into place and install the supplied black plastic washers and #8-32 ESNA half nuts to secure the E&G grille sections. Do not overtighten the ESNA nuts or you will indent the grille sections. Tighten only until you can not rotate the washers.

5. Remove the masking tape (if paint work was performed).
