Simple Life

Another item that also had its beginnings in the truck accessory market are custom grilles. Over the years, custom grille packages have been popular among many car enthusiasts. However, these items were often hard to find for cars, and many vehicles that featured these products had items that were custom made by custom auto shops or by their owners.

Today, there are a wide variety of grilles available for cars, trucks and SUVs. These include billet grilles, chrome mesh grilles, honeycomb style speed grilles, chrome factory style grille shells, chrome custom aftermarket grille shells, aluminum mesh, and many different styles of grille overlays including flames, “punch-out”, and many other different designs. The current and most popular style is the chrome mesh that resembles the meshgrilles found on Bentleys. Among the companies that offer this style of grille are EFX, Grillecraft, T-Rex, Strut and Precision Grilles. These grilles often are more expensive than the billet style grille, but the finished product on many vehicles is much more impressive than what the billet grille can offer.

Plus, stainless steel is incredibly tough, resilient and easily fashioned into a multitude of forms and shapes.

Just like the aluminum, there are two types of stainless steel used in billet grilles. The more economical of the two, 409 series stainless steel, is commonly used for many different automotive accessories because of its sturdiness. The other type of stainless steel, 304, is another popular automotive metal. It has a higher chromium content for the ultimate in corrosion resistance.
