DIY Badge fir Grille came out sweet!

[Throwin Plugs]

So i installed a new grille one my Express, and it looked nice but it looked.... naked. I wanted a new badge, but didn't wanna pay that much for one. I figured hell, I have some scrap 316 alloy here, I run the waterjet at work. I got 10 minutes. I got a stufd welder. Why not? Came out mint.

Looks badass. I had the same grill but I changed it with the grill with the RAM letters in the middle and the amber lights. Looks original

No, but it's quit obvious that's where the animators stole the idea from?

Maybe so, but definitely copied from a Mastodon skull for sure.
There's just no originality anymore? lol

How do you like that grill. I've been thinking of picking one up but painting it to match my truck (Granite Crystal Metallic). How's the fitment and look after its installed?

 

[NJRamRunner]

Looks great. Been wanting a black punisher skull to put on mine but too much other stuff i want to do first lol. Thanks for adding a grill to the list. Lol

 

[RedShirt]

Hah! That is sexy.
"This is the way" Indeed.

Well. I love it. It looks good, fit pretty much perfect and the lights look great. That being said, it is ABS. NOT FRAGILE but def not heavy duty. The wiring for the lights is questionable at best and ill probably change it when its warmer out. The retailer clips both broke and red rock refused to give me new ones and told me to ask American Trucks for replacements (wtf its your product?) I just got clipsandfasteners mopar copies.

I'd recommend it for $159 though.
