Key Features

• Unique billet design that adds a bold, custom appearance to your Dodge Ram’s front bumper.
• Constructed from high-quality stainless steel for superior strength and corrosion resistance.
• Finished with a black powder coat that provides a sleek, durable surface resistant to chips and fading.
• Improves airflow to the engine bay, potentially aiding in cooling and overall engine performance.
• Protects the lower front end from road debris such as rocks, dirt, and insects.
• Easy to clean and maintain with just soap and water, keeping your grille looking new.
• Comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions.
• Overlay installation design for a seamless fit on the lower bumper area.

Construction & Design

This billet grille is expertly crafted from premium stainless steel, chosen for its durability and resistance to rust and corrosion. The black powder-coated finish not only enhances the grille’s visual appeal but also provides a tough protective layer that withstands harsh environmental conditions. The grille’s design features evenly spaced billet bars that combine style with functionality, allowing optimal airflow while maintaining a rugged, aggressive look.

The overlay installation method ensures the grille fits securely over the existing bumper opening, providing a clean, factory-like appearance without compromising structural integrity.

Performance & Sound

While primarily a cosmetic upgrade, the APS billet grille also contributes to improved engine cooling by increasing airflow to the radiator and engine bay. This enhanced ventilation can help maintain optimal operating temperatures, especially during heavy-duty use or in hot climates. Additionally, the grille offers protection against debris that could otherwise damage critical front-end components.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the APS Black Stainless Lower Billet Grille requires overlay mounting with some drilling necessary to secure the grille firmly to the lower bumper. The package includes all mounting hardware and a detailed installation manual to guide you through the process. Please note that this grille does not fit Laramie, SLT, Sport, Daytona, or SRT10 models, and the tow hook must be removed for proper installation.

APS (often known in the Subaru community as Air Power Systems) is a legacy performance brand recognized for turbo and intercooler hardware used on high-output Subaru builds. Products like front-mount intercooler systems and bolt-on turbocharger packages became popular upgrades for improving charge-air cooling and airflow; many APS components are now discontinued but remain sought-after in the performance aftermarket.
