Does this grille require any drilling or modification to install?

No modification needed. This grille mounts at the factory attachment points on your Super Duty or Excursion, so the existing fastener holes line up without any drilling or welding.

Will I need to paint this before installation?

The grille arrives ready to install as-is. If you want to match a custom color or finish, you can paint it before or after mounting—test-fit first to confirm clearance and alignment.

What tools do I need to install this?

Basic hand tools—socket wrench set and screwdrivers—are all you need. No special equipment required. If you're not confident working with your bumper assembly, a shop can have this done in under an hour.
