    The clip/bracket part number is: 53245-04010

    About $7 from the dealer IIRC

    The little piece under the headlight is called a bumper filler or headlight filler. rockauto has them for $3. Just buy color matched spray paint and clear coat and you're good to go.

    That chrome trim piece is called a bumper cover. Part number: 52103-04010 for the driver's side I believe.

    Ah that is pretty sweet. Yeah it has some falcon parts and what I learned from my neighbor is that they used the same frame on this year as the mustang. Not sure if it's like that for most models but it's kinda cool it is a lot of different cars

    Ah hell yeah that is awesome! thanks! I'm really lost when it comes to names of pieces on the truck. Do you happen to know what the name of the door lights inside of the cab? They have a stock red plastic on the door and are really ugly with my blue interior. Do they have like clear?

    :eek: maybe somebody on here who has a plate bumper could be persuaded to part with their stock bumper for cheap?

    It took me a long time to get them adjusted properly and I still get "brighted" by oncoming traffic - I can't put them any lower! When you look at your truck from the side does the front of the headlight lens sort of line up with the contour of the grill? they should be close. that is a good starting point to get things lined up.

    Just fix that bumper cover with a hammer, and bend your brackets on the thing below the headlight with some pliers.

    My rear bumper and the sledge hammer are well acquainted. It looks like a potato chip back there now.:anonymous:

    That little cover below the light pops right out, it doesn't really looked damaged, maybe the brackets are twisted. As for the bumper I'm not sure how it will turn out but its worth a try.

    Yeah the piece under the light has just a bolt and clip thing. It just doesn't fit anymore because the bumper is kinda jacked up and compressing the fender part to not allow that piece to fit anymore. Haha that was confusing and yeah might as well try! If I can get it out, it's really jammed in there

    Put less than 50 miles on the S and realized that I loved it so much that I had to have the top of line, SP, lol.

    For a short while I had the pleasure of having both in the garage at the same time and had to snap a photo of them both. :cool:
