Construction & Design

The grille is crafted from premium-grade stainless steel, chosen for its strength and resistance to rust and corrosion. The black powder-coated finish not only enhances the grille’s visual appeal but also provides an additional protective layer against harsh weather conditions and road elements. The billet design features precision-cut bars that create a bold, aggressive front fascia while allowing ample airflow to the engine compartment.

APS engineers designed this grille to fit perfectly as an overlay on the factory upper grille opening, ensuring a seamless integration with your Ram 1500’s front end without the need for modifications or drilling.

Performance & Sound

While primarily a styling upgrade, the billet grille’s open design improves airflow to the engine bay. Enhanced airflow can contribute to better engine cooling, which is beneficial during heavy towing, off-road driving, or hot weather conditions. This can help maintain consistent engine performance and efficiency. The grille does not alter the vehicle’s sound characteristics.

The APS Black Stainless Upper Billet Grille is designed for a straightforward overlay installation on 2011–2018 Ram 1500 models. No drilling or permanent modifications are required, making it a simple bolt-on upgrade.

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.
