If that’s your Eco

I’ve been debating that grille or replacing my chrome molding inserts with black. That sure is a nice looking grille, just don’t know if it’ll look good on my Race Red.

Not mine. I was just wondering if anyone has it here in NA.

You can get a better look at it here. It's not totally in English, but the amount of EcoSports at the Ford meet they go to is something we'll never see here.

This was a custom paint job. I don't know if it's Race Red, but it's red. I think it looks good.

Same! I really like that

Welcome!
I like how it looks, too. I'm just afraid that there could be minor differences between our cars and the Asian models that would make it hard or even impossible to install. I prefer to not be the guinea pig trying it for the first time here. I've had mixed luck with that sort of thing.
I've tried to contact the seller about it to ask if the FORD letters are included, but no dice.

So out of curiosity I searched eBay to see if anyone had it listed there and several do. But they all say 2016-2019 EcoSport

Yeah, weird. Makes me wonder what the differences might be between models in different countries. We know they fit Indian cars, but ours are not Indian.
The Storm model, which this Argentinan reviewer tested, looks pretty cool too, but I still like the first grill better. The 3 lights make it look like a Raptor.
BTW, I speak Spanish, so I know he liked it. Sorta.

Well, I pulled the trigger. The seller said it will fit US models and comes with the FORD letters. I guess we'll see.

Nice! Let us know how it goes. It doesn’t look too bad to install.

It will be a few weeks before I get it. Chinese New Year. 🎈
I'll definitely post the results.

I’m curious what they wire those additional lights into.

Me, too. It looks like they're always on with the DRLs. Guess I'll find out!

Did your grill come?

Not yet. Shipped from China. It's through customs, but not off the boat.

Another thing is that my front bumper and fender got dinged by some bozo in a parking lot. It might have to come off.
That will be fixed, whether or not this grill is what I think I bought. I think it will be fine.

You must promise to show pictures once installed....

I certainly will!
Looks to me like it will fit just fine. Came with all the necessary hardware, too. I'll inspect it more closely tomorrow.
Not bad for $200 shipped from China. I hope it wasn't made by enslaved children.
We'll see how I feel once it's installed.
