Bolt-over or replacement billet grills

Your vehicle's grill is important because it prevents debris from entering the engine compartment and damaging engine components. If it's left open, it obviously can't perform this function very well. For this reason, many vehicle grills are covered with grille inserts. These inserts are fashionable, too, which is why you'll often find the manufacturer's emblem there. Custom grille inserts are available in a wide variety of stylish designs, and billet truck grilles are among the most popular. They can be used to cover over or totally replace the existing factory-installed grille insert, which yields a totally new look. Billet grills are usually made from aluminum, stainless steel or ABS plastic and cut from a single solid piece of raw material. This makes them sturdier than parts that are cast or forged.

You might think billet grills are hard to install, but this is not necessarily true. There are two types available: the bolt over grills and the replacement grille. Bolt over grilles are easy to install because they simply snap on over the existing grille insert with hidden bolts, clamps and brackets. Replacement billet truck grilles are more labor-intensive, because, as the name implies, you completely replace the existing grille insert. This can mean some cutting and light drilling, but the effort is worth it, as properly installed replacement grilles generally look better than the bolt over units. No matter which style you choose, billet grilles are an easy and affordable stylistic touch.
