So I want to do something with my grille. Quite honestly, I don't care for the Honeycomb that I have.
I've thought about some things to do with it, but want some of your opinions.
First thought: Paint the honeycombs. What I'd do, is tape up the front of the grille, then from the backside, spray paint it gray like my paint color. So it's an illusion type of thing as you go by. Regular black from the front, then changes to gray as you view it at an angle.
Second thought: Billet grille
They look sweet, and I'd go with something like this:
Found another one like that, but the bottom area in between the plastic and metal bumper, it has cutouts for tow hooks in that one.
Third thought: Mesh grille
Not as good as billet, but they still look pretty sweet. I kinda like it:
Fourth Thought: Grille insert
I've been contemplating this one, then I noticed another member said something about this the other day. I don't like it up close, but it looks sweet far away. But your opinions on this one:
Or some other inserts I kinda like:
Flames:
Tribal Flames:
Tribal:
I kinda like those two because I want to get a Tribal Ram head and put that on my windshield. Because I like the looks of those, but what do you guys have/like/suggest for a person to get/do?

i had that first grill on my first ram, it came, didnt fit. i had to grind all the sides down to fit in. a friend of mine says it looked "too busy". the oem is the same horizontal chrome bars, but spaced out more.
i hate how the lower aftermarket grills, arent actual grills. they just set over top the honeycomb. personally i cant stand those and think they look cheap and $h!tty when you can still see the black plastic behind it.

i found a nice black chrome billet inserts for teh rams and they looked sweet. that would be my choice. the designs on most of the other grilles are pretty cheasy to me and no tmy style. to much going on. im a clean and crisp type. im the type that hates embems,decals and chrome all over the place. just my 2 cents. but try finding the black chrome its the best looking grill ive seen.
