So maybe instead of calling them stealerships you should go right to the beloved name of Ford motor company.

I call it as I see it, "stealership". I don't find it cute or funny either. You pay thourgh the nose to use these "resources" at the dealership. I call this "enlightenment" BS also.
$469 for a "plastic" grill is not only stupid, but it's robbery for a part that only cost $20 to $25 to make if that.

Maybe you should just buy the parts and try the repair on your own and then see if its worth the 700 bucks for the parts and labor if its just a simple repair.. I think its funny when people will complain about paying for a repair but for example if there a plumber and they charge a customer 60-80 bucks and hour sometimes more it ok.
I am also looking for this same grille. No luck on eBay either for it so far.
