Default open face billet grille or leave it alone
Whats up everybody.. I've been contemplating on getting a powder coated billet grille for ram. Its the open face kind that replaces all the inside of the grille. I'm still trying to figure out if it will look ok. I just havent done anything to the ram in a while and thought maybe a black billet grille will help change the looks of the front end a little. What do you guys think?

here is what it looks like now.


And here is the companies pic of a black ram with the exact grille installed

Me personally, I say leave it as is. I love the Cross Hairs of our grills. Its what sets us apart from Ferds and Chebbys.

I dont like the look of the one piece mammoth grills.

Those widemouth grilles have really frown on me the last couple weeks. I don't care for the ones with the verticle inserts, but the ones with the horizontal inserts look pretty good.
