The good: it's not broken or cracked or peeling

The bad: it's made in somewhere other than the US I'm sure

The questionable: it doesn't have dodge lettering, which may be a plus or minus depending on your style

I bought one of those cheapy grilles for my crewcab. Not bad quality, and yes no indents for the dodge lettering....just smooth. I think there is someone selling "Dodge" vinyl lettering sets on e-bay that look like the original plastic letters.

Interesting. I have been contemplating buying one of these and using my stock cracked one for a test model to build either 4 custom grill inserts or one big one. Then I could deap it over to the knockoff and hopefully look like s badass. This would also allow room to clear aftermarket LEDs behind the custom grill.

If anyone knows what font dodge uses, you can get the letters printed at most malls, or vinyl sign places. Should cost about $10.

Honestly I think it may not look so bad with no dodge lettering. Cut the cross out of the middle of the grill which makes essentially 4 grills, make one large grill out of expanded sheet or something and put a cummins C in the middle.
