Hello, I have been reading alot about these after market grills and I was wondering if there is a Grill out there that replaces the factory one without cutting ANYTHING?
I found this one on ebay that I like but the price says CHEAP to me?

there is another that looks the same but it is 3 times as much$$

 

Hi

I would be very cautious. I paid that much just for my lower carriage works billet grill, which is very well made and fit perfectly. The price just seems way too low for any quality, also I read some of the feedback comments and some people were complaining about the quality. I think you get what you pay for. I would wait a bit, some people on the forum are working on some new grill designs.

 

I just bought a Carriage Works Bumper Grille from "AutoAnything" on line.

$59.95 w/free shipping. Only had to drill 2 small holes in the bottom of the bumper to mount. I can't speak for mounting the upper grille though. I kinda like the original myself. Maybe you can find out what all is involved from their website. P.S. The bumper grille looks great!

 

You have to cut up the stock grille.

 

How about TRENZ grill, sold by Truckshop amd Socal. Should be a direct replacement!

I bought my trenz grille from truckshop.com and it was easy to install. No need for cutting.

The Trenz grills look good to me, but those cheap Ebay ones just look..... cheap.

Me- I like the chromed T-Rex grill, but it is way out of my price range.... right now.
Someday.

 

what grills are direct replacements but that leave the last upper "top" thick bar from the original grill..ive seen thos and look kinda neat... but i do like the OG grill, and think i might just get a lower one

 

that ebay grill will probably fit just fine the finish is what you have to be careful of, im considering getting that same one and painting it black.

the thing with aftermarket parts is the original part makers charge more for their product because they have all the time in making it fit and testing. Once it is made other companies can easily copy the design and sell it for less. And lots of times it is a cheaper material.

If i were to get a chrome/billet grill id stick with the name brands


i guess what im saying is, yeah that ebay grill is sorta cheap

 

I like your grill the way it is right now. That T-Rex grill.....I don't know.....sort of looks like a '49 Suburban slammed into a barbeque grill. Just my
