So I've been looking into getting grill inserts for my 1998 ram 1500 sport. But the website i have been looking at (www.autotrucktoys.com) only has grill inserts for non sport models. I was wondering what the difference would be between a sport and a non sport grill? I'm looking for a the horizontal billet grill inserts. Also grill inserts for the bumper, i have fog lights so would need inserts to incorporate that. If anyone has any idea where i could find some that would be greatly helpful. Here's the link i have been looking at: http://www.autotrucktoys.com/ram/Wes...-PRD26726.aspx
I would like to get some inserts that look like these if possible. Thanks for your help guys.

 

this is a steal for both fog and the grille http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-01...mZ190373642836

 

Make your own. Just made mine the other week.

 

Well i think I'm planning on ordering the inserts lastrights just posted. they look nice and aren't outrageously priced. pcfixerpro, where did you get your headlight housings? and do they fit the same bulb type as your original housings?

 

That's what I have in mine. You'll need to remove the fog lights then install them behind the insert. They look good.

 

I have them as well

 

I believe the link from (autotrucktoys.com) is for a bolt-over style of grille inserts. It appears that member: RamSport97 has a replacement billet set. Be aware that the bolt-over style looks completely different. I have a 98 Dodge Ram Sport myself and I purchased the bolt-over style a few years back (mainly because my grille and grille shell have been JB-Welded together by the previous owner). I highly suggest you do a replacement grille, not a bolt-over.

To answer your question about a grille not fitting your 98 sport, IGNORE it, the 94-98 rams are all the same when it comes to grilles and headlights. It was not until 99 that the sport had the different front bumper (fog lights spaced out towards the edge of the bumper and dual-bulb headlights). It is very noticeable and I'm sure you've seen that different style front end.

Take a look at my cardomain if you want to see my grille in comparison with the replacement billet (as you will see, the bolt-over doesn't fit the best either). If I can be of any other help feel free to email me.

 

i made some inserts my self, cost me about $30 and a couple hours, but i can say they are truly custom here are some pics

these are the holes i drilled for the bumper inserts

heres the backside of the bumper before i trimmed all the zip ties

and the finished product


the reason i did the bumper inserts was because my truck did not come with the plastic fog light piece, so there were two big holes in it

 

btw, here is my cardomain link

99dodge318 i was just wondering what you made your grill inserts out of and how you did it.
