The pictures dont really do it justice.. Looks better in person. DCX should have done something like that to begin with.
I did it last fall after I saw someone else post about doing that. I was tired of cleaning all the crap out of that area in front of the radiator.

I bought this one off ebay . . . billet aluminum. I drive a fair amount in Central Florida and don't want to keep picking the bugs out of the rad fins. This worked great!

Moosly, I have been looking at these on e-bay also, how does the billet alluminum one attach to your grill?

Just installed my Expanded Metal Grill Insert.

I use spray on tuck bed liner instead of paint. I wanted to give it a textured look to match the bumper.

What did you use to attach the grill insert to the grill? Looks good by the way.

I used the same zip tie method posted in this thread. I just hope they hold up for more than a year .
