grill suggestions?
The stock abs plastic grill on my truck is cracked in multiple areas and want to replace it. I like the look of the stock grill but would like something more durable. Paramount makes a stock style Polished aluminum one, but I worry about it dulling and requiring too much maintenance.
Who make something similar to the stock grill but in stainless? or Chrome?

Hey your best bet is to check out ebaymotors there are a bunch of different style of chrome ones out there for a good prices just take a good look at pics to see how they are made because there is alot of junk on there as well. I have never seen a full stainless grill (that would be sweet) and I agree with you on the aluminum gill it would require to much polishing!! Also LMCtruck.com has a bunch of grills for 94-12 dodges. Little more expensive than some of the ebay ones. I bought a chrome vertical bar grill made by Putco for $78 off ebay just to change the look a bit and after two years still looks great and at that price if it only lasts three years until chrome starts flaking I will just buy another one. For a chrome mopar oem they run anywhere from $300-$350

Yeh I realize there are extra fees and shipping but alot more people are starting to ship to canada lately. I think that will be your best bet. Yeh the good ol dealer mark up. there is a all chrome factory OEM grill on ebay now and you can buy it for $330. So you can pay alot of shipping to get to $500.

I just priced one out for a co-worker today for his '11 and it retailed at $361.90 retail. It doesn't come with the emblem tho, for that youd have to use your old one or get a new unit from the dealer.
Check your jobber stores and see who sells Keystone Cross Canada parts. That's who I use.

So far it has been two years and the cheap one is holding up good. still looks great and it was only $80 Not sure how it will look at 5 but we will see. Most of them are made heavy abs injection molded

For the money, I'd probably just get one from LMC.

The sterling grill does look pretty wicked but not really what I am after. I am considering shelling out cash for stock unit just because I am afraid of durability of the china replicas. I recently bought a replacement bumper chrome plastic piece from rock auto. I want to see how well the finish holds up before making my decision whether it I got replica route or oem.
