Billet Grille Materials

(back to Billet Grille Main Page)

It is essential that truck accessories be made from durable, long lasting materials.  Not only do they have to survive harsh conditions like moisture, UV radiation, and debris, they also have to be built as tough as the vehicle itself.  There’s no use in having a durable, strong truck built to withstand all of the elements with accessories that can’t do the same. At TruckChamp.com, we offer only the best billet grilles made of only the best materials.  Read below to learn more.

Stainless Steel Grille Inserts

Stainless steel is known for its strength and durability and is therefore, a common material used to construct billet grilles.  Though stainless steel grille inserts are built tough, they are still easily produced in a multitude of forms and shapes.  So whether you are looking for a traditional or customized grill insert (as described above), stainless steel is always an option when styling your truck or SUV.

Chromium, one of stainless steels’ main components is what makes this material so tough and able to withstand harsh elements.  At TruckChamp.com, several of our Putco designed billet grilles use stainless steel in their construction. 

Aluminum Billet Grilles

Aluminum is the most widely used material in billet grill construction.  Known as a versatile, durable and strong material resistant to corrosion, aluminum can be formed into almost any shape.  Hence the reason it is one of the most popular materials used in the automotive industry.

If you are interested in a material with corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand harsh conditions, an aluminum billet grill may be the right choice for you.  View TruckChamp.com’s extensive list of Putco and Carriage Works billet grille options to see the aluminum inserts we carry.

ABS Plastic

ABS Plastic is widely used in the automotive industry because it is very cost effective.  Though it’s not as strong as aluminum or stainless steel, ABS plastic offers a lightweight, durable option for billet grille construction.  Additionally, it is resistant to rust, unlike other materials used in truck accessories.  At TruckChamp.com, we are pleased to offer several ABS plastic grill insert options.
