My Non GT BSKT Designs Grill Install

[KennyMc]

After addressing the suspension "needs" of the Mach E, it was time to address the more "bling" aspects to this car. Mainly the front grill. I like the black on blue contrast so the BSKT Designs Non GT grill seemed like the perfect answer.....and it was!!!

The removal of the moustache surround piece proved to be the most challenging as trying to figure out the angle needed to remove it without breaking any of the "clips". I am more of a bull in a China shop when it comes to fineness so I broke off a couple of the tabs. No big deal as I have no intention on reusing it and even if I did I can't think they would be too expensive but again, I have no intention on going back. With the addition of the lighted pony it makes this whole BSKT Designs grill pop. This is a very well made piece and to me really makes the front end of these cars stand out. Very happy with the install and would highly recommend it.

Compliments the rear lighted pony

Did you get instructions in your package? I was just trying to figure out how to take off the moustache part without taking off the frunk or entire front bumper it looks like I have to? And what was the riv nut tool for?

I've modified almost everything on my Scion FRS which was very simple but the frunk and front bumper area on the Mach-E looks like a PITA to take off so I'm trying to do with the least amount of steps lol

I received my kit yesterday, no instructions in the box, just the pieces and parts. Haven't started the install yet.

No instructions but it's fairly easy:
1) Take off all surrounding pieces as you need to remove the frunk.
2) The trim is in 2 pieces. One on the top which covers the camera. The top 2 fasteners appear to be rivets. I drilled mine out. That is what the rivet gun is for, replacing those when you install the BSKT top part.
3)Removing the moustache trim piece. Again, I don't have the finesse that some do so I ended up just ripping it out and breaking the 2 tabs in the upper corners.
4) Install is the easy part, just push all of the tabs into the slots. Use rivet gun to install the 2 at the very top.
5) Put frunk and surround pieces back on.

Awesome thanks! Looks like the BSKT website just updated the page with similar instructions. I'm at the most frustrating part of removing the mustache part without mangling the entire thing....will snap some pics when it's done!

I feel like the rabbit hole of modding has begun with the Mach-E starting with rally armor mudflaps and replacing the vinyl wrap grill with BSKT's version...send help 🫠

@KennyMc ,
Did you get black or 3d graphics grill? I ordered both, but mine had some adventures and I’m waiting for another shipment that hopefully will arrive to my address.

Is it nessesary to remove the Pony?

Yes , it will be re-attached with the thick double sided tape to remain somewhat level with the surface of the new grill.
