I bought this eBay rebel grill and the fitment is great, quality is what I expected… but the letters may be where infringement was avoided. The R and A are normal… the M is skinny. See attached photo.

I’m looking for a full size M (or full replacement letters) that’ll fit the rebel style grill. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks!

Wow w,tf?! Been looking at these grills, now I’m worried I’ll get one with a jacked up letter as well. I think the dealer sells the RAM insert, not 100% sure. Maybe Benny here can source one.

I didn’t even notice until someone else pointed it out- now I can’t not see it. I don’t know Benny, can he be tagged? New to the forums

That's the junky one. It also has the basic cheap hexagonal mesh pattern instead of the nicer oem style mesh pattern. Return it if you can and look at the pictures before you buy more carefully. That one belongs in the garbage though

Did you message the eBay seller and ask for the correct one?

Can you link the better one please? I was unaware of a difference. I’m asking the seller now for the correct lettering but I don’t expect much

I don't have a better one, I was just asking if you tried the seller since that one is clearly incorrect.

The letters are different on the aftermarket one because the RAM logo is trademarked and can't be duplicated unless it is authorized or licensing agreement between the manufacturer and the aftermarket company.

Chances are OEM letters will not fit this grille correctly. Best bet is to search for some aftermarket letters.

Any chance you’ve got part numbers for the OEM letters? I’ve fabricated control arm mounts on one ton axles I’d be willing to try my hand at some plastic modification.

My bad I quoted the wrong post. I’m new to the forums. Another guy said there was a better version i should’ve bought. That’s who I meant to quote



Thank you everyone for the help and the links!!

This is the exact reason for the 'skinny' M. Look at any late model (2010ish and newer) F150. Majority of them are running around with an Ebay 'Raptor' grill that says DOOD. Then they sell the F and R separately to make it say FORD.

I ran into the 'wrong font' problem when I ordered my grille a year or so ago. Ended up buying the matte black door letters (68366991AB) and massaged them into the grille - they fit snug vertically. I glued them from the back side and they've held up well.
