Default RBP grill

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen one of these grills up close and if it's hard to install. I want to get one for my truck and just take off the RBP emblem cause it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense on a gas truck. I just really like the look of these grills. I tried uploading some pictures but they didn't seem to work.

you have to cut your cross members off for 2 of their grills. as long as your comfortable doing that then it shouldnt be too hard. like xfeejayx said THEY ARE ALOT OF $$$$ for what you get. they do look real nice though.

They look great up close. But as everyone said already they require some cutting, and are kinda pricey.

You realize that they are for 2006+, don't you?
So unless if you are either keeping vehicles out of your sig, or have a conversion kit, the grille of a 2006+ is different shaped than yours. So on your 2002, it's not going to work.

Alright, just checking. I noticed you didn't have another vehicle in your sig, or vehicle area, or your garage, so I didn't know if you saw the years. I know that I want one on my truck, unfortunately, it won't fit on my truck. Well, I could probably put that grille on my truck, they just look bad. I've seen a truck with my front end, and the 2006+ bumper on his truck. It fit, but looked rather stupid.
Well, if you like that look, go for it. If you think it might look bad on a gas engine, then you should mod it to look cooler. Put on some bigger tires with a leveling kit, and maybe a bull bar up front with some Hellas on it, then that RBP grille would blend right in, and look sick.

Yeah i was looking at that design for awhile trying to figure out how to make one for my 2002 but i have no ideas yet. I have a spare grille i was thinking about trying to modify to look like that RBP grille but we'll see. I kind of want to keep my new truck stock and do all my mods to my old one. I was just going to change the grille but like i said that might look weird.
