Default Custom Grill Shell

I would like to see what kind of interest there is for this custom grill shell. I understand there is a classifieds section, etc. I am not trying to sell from this post, rather develop an idea of what other Ram owners think of this grill and if there is interest.
It is made of fiberglass and replaces the factory grill shell.
Anticipated price is around $400 for the shell and mounting hardware only, not painted, no inserts.

We have developed a website for this product, however, I will not name it here unless someone specifically asks for it.

We currently have one up for auction on a popular auction website (I'll give you one guess) to try to determine what asking price may be appropriate.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks...Morgan

The open mouth style is available at several places online (try the link below). It is plastic and is only available in chrome with a billet-type insert. If you ask me, chrome belongs on bikes, "chromed" plastic belongs at the recycling center. In my opinion, Dodge made the grill too large and odd shaped to use an open mouth type grill. On the other hand, I think an open mouth looks great on late model Fords.

Well thats exactly what i was looking for and yet its wasnt all at the same time. I weep on the inside because chrome plastic is nothing more than a waste of space. I love the new bigger grille, i didnt at first, but whe you pull up behind a smaller car its just so damn intimidating. I love it!
