3M Tape to hold letters on —> 3M 03609 Scotch-Mount 1/2" x 5' Molding Tape https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BO913C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_afaLCbCSBP5X5

Fit isn’t to bad. The whole grille could be 1/8” taller as it felt like it stretched pretty good to push the guides in to the bumper and the mounts for the bolts on top. I did have to remove the factory air diverter, or at least it seemed that way for the grille to push in all the way. Kinda dark out, so tomorrow I’ll be able to judge it better. So far I am liking it. It doesn’t come with RAM letters. eBay link above to the ones I used. Kind of a pain to 3M tape each individual letter on and get them straight and spaced decently. A little bit of tape is showing that I’ll try to trim back when I get a chance. Here’s some pics for now.

I like that grille design too.
I picked up an OEM one locally that had a couple of paint scratches on it for $300, I just need to paint it before installing.

On my rebel style grill, the brackets to bolt on (middle 2) I installed it in wrong one(worked but realized was off) so the brackets are specific to where they go. Reason I noticed was looking at bracket both looked like they slightly aimed to right, once I moved brakets was perfect.

You got pics? Unfortunately this grill isn’t meant for a logo (sadly). But with the eBay 15% off one cart order last week, it was cheap enough that the wife was fine with me ordering.

The brackets I am talking about are the 2 large ones you mount in grill top to bolt to truck. They are side specific or won't line up quite right. Not sure how your grill mounts, mine you had to put 4 screws in to hold the brackets, yours may not be that way, I have no idea. This is bracket I'm talking about.

Looks Great! Have the same on the way in Flat Black. How did you mount the letters?

3m tape. Surprisingly the tape was stronger than expected. See how it does this winter. The tape isn’t touching that much of the letters.

That bracket looks pretty much the same as mine. A couple screws hold it on.

That's a photo of your bracket. Most likely same as mine, had 4 screws to hold it in. If you had to move over bracket a little to get bolt in under the hood, then it is in wrong side, once I did that, bolt went in without any problems like oem. Even when mine were in wrong side I could still get bolt in under hood easily, but had to pull bracket to side slightly to put bolt in. You would think both big brackets would be indentical, but they are not. Could be because grill slightly bends and they very slightly angle the brackets due to this. So makes them side specific.

I think I have them right. But will check. I’m saying in my post the grill should go down further a bit. Maybe bracket would affect that but your referring to side to side.

Ya, that thing I was talking about is more fit to the bolts under hood.
