ST grille without the moulded in mounting surface for the ST emblem...

[Scotman2]

I haven't seen one of the ST line version to make certain that the grille was the same minus the mounting surface. This image shows that it's clean of anything. So, if nothing else can be said for the ST line, at least those who like" NO stinking badges", now have that option!

On my phone I only see all black. Is the rest of the blocked area the same? Has anybody priced one? I still plan to sand down my blocked area.

I thought about getting one but I found a new ST grill on eBay for stupid cheap. Been in the process of shaving it the last couple days. Never again.

I don't see how sanding the area will make it"better looking". The honeycomb pattern is disrupted by the raised mounting surface. One thing I found out is that the little ST emblem costs about $40. I think these grille panels will be a fairly valuable part in the near future. I think Ford will be obsoleting out all Fiesta parts availability as soon as possible. They are already placing some critical sheet metal parts on backorder status that has been in place for the past several months, and I have been told that I shouldn't hold my breath waiting.

Sorry, I meant the whole area, not just the emblem area. For better air flow.

I'm going to use a Dremel rotory tool to open up the top three and a half rows of the grille panel lower half. But I think it's best to remove the thing and do it on a bench. So, that is a side job to do this winter when I upgrade the intercooler. It looks like several tedious hours of work.
