Grille plate

1SilverBullet2 · Mar 4, 2015

So unless somebody can show me where I can find a grille like this 09-12 Dodge RAM 1500 Black ABS Plastic Mesh Sport Grill / Grille Guard for our trucks that'd be awesome because I can't find any, except for the dumb looking ones that are split down the middle that I see on cummins...what I want to do is make my own. I was thinking about getting a grille from the JY and hacking that up for a test run. I would cut out the T and make the whole middle open. Only dilemma would be the open holes where I'd cut off the plastic. How would I cover those holes? Plastic w/ chrome tape?

yea, you best bet would be to grab a paintable grille, and cut out the cross hairs to make your own satoshi grille.

edit: this is for a taco, but its a good reference point. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/28831-my-satoshi-grill-write-up.html

You should also check out rok-tek grilles. They are inserts that require cutting the original grille and they look pretty good. Heres the link to the diy article about them.

Ahh I never noticed the codes grille. Thanks guys for the info. For my idea I was gunna set the grille insert more into the grille than flat but seeing how non deep the plastic is I might to rethink my plan of attack. I was thinking about making a small side all the way around the grille( like a shallow box) and using that side to mount the mesh on the inside of the plastic grille, catch my drift?
