deja Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I have once again changed my grille. While I liked the stock black plastic Dodge Ram stock grill I had it sort of blended in with the black fiberglass bumper making the front look like one big black hole. I picked up an aftermarket aluminum billet grill from a '04 Dodge Ram Quad Cab Regency. The LED turn signals are still behind the grille but shine through pretty well. It took a little more trimming than the stock Ram grille but I think it looks better with the bumper splitting the grill area. And it makes the front look lower and wider.

DavyZ Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I agree, the bumper needs to be there to break up the huge field of horizontal lines. Very nice work in making that fit! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvanen Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I bet that little pucker where the airdam and the grill meet in the middle drives you crazy. Or maybe thats my OCD kickin in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 LOL, I didn't even notice that was there until the sun hit it just right. I spent hours "fixing" that Showcars POS to get it to fit that well. I have plans to extend the sides some more, I'll fix that pucker then.

Blown77Z Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Wow, you did a very good job on it ! Where did you pick it up at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deja Posted April 17, 2008 Author Share Posted April 17, 2008 EBay, where else, its like a drug! Just surfing one day and found it. I knew it would basically fit because I had a stock Dodge Ram gille in it already. I had to trim about 3 inches off each end the top half and trim a bit of a taper on the bottom half and remove the bottom bar altogether. I also removed center the bar where my home made bumper brackets come through. I made a few braces from the radiator brace to hold the grill in place. Wow, you did a very good job on it !

deja Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Don't think its going to help since he never mentions the brand. Anyone need a bug shield for a Dodge Ram, LOL. I emailed the seller but he does not remember the brand name. EBay# is 180227846997 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=180227846997&rd=1 hey deja can you provide a link to the exact grill on ebay, i found a couple but they look different, id really appreciate it. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
