Billet Grills

[under construction]

I have been thinking of ditching the chrome for a black billet grill but have not made up my mine. Anyone have thoughts or pictures of one installed on their truck? I am not a huge fan of the mesh ones the bolts showing. That one of the reasons I was leaning this direction.

Here is a picture of it currently for reference:

Here's mine, I know you don't like mesh, but there's no exposed bolt look on this one. I plan on color matching the shroud, should blend a lot better.

Not my truck but I am running the same grille. It's a Trex billet grille.

Honestly I think what u got right now is tits but its your truck.

My only other thought is maybe try to black out the chrome. Black and red always looks good.

Color matched shroud's look sooooo much better than chrome!

T-Rex, it's a newer version of an older design, they just removed the stupid fake "bolts" around the edges.

Did you buy a plate to make your factor emblem work or did you rig something up? This is along the lines of what I have been thinking of doing. Is yours the T-Rex black Billet grill as well or is it another brand?

I like this! This is what I am considering.

Thanks for all the input guys. I like my setup now, I just want to get rid of the rest of the chrome and I'm not sure just painting the grill bars black is what I want.

That looks like the t-rex black billet. And they come with the hardware to mount the emblem if that's what you want, if I'm not mistaken.

i haven't reached baller status, so no, its no where near a t-rex grill.. its a cheapy off amazon. 90 bucks. had to cut the center of the grill out around the inside of the chrome suround in order for it to fit and screw in.. i wouldn't recommend it.. i would have saved for a nice one if i would have known all that. i ran zip ties through the rear of the ford oval and ziptied it in the center and i have a zip tie on each end around the prongs keeping it straight/level..

i wouldn't do it again..

I could be wrong but don't you have to cut out for all of the aftermarket grills? Also I will have to check into if the T-rex has the hardware to mount the emblem or if it is sold separate.

check out grille craft. i got mine from them and it was a easy install
