Construction & Design

The grille is expertly crafted from premium stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting durability and resistance to corrosion even in harsh weather conditions.

The billet design features precisely spaced horizontal bars that balance airflow and protection, engineered to complement the classic styling of the 1994–2001 Dodge Ram.

APS has engineered this grille to be a direct overlay replacement, which means it installs over the existing grille opening without the need for cutting or drilling. This thoughtful design preserves the integrity of your vehicle while allowing for a straightforward installation process.

Enhanced airflow can aid in maintaining optimal engine temperatures, which may contribute to better overall performance and fuel efficiency during demanding driving conditions. Additionally, the grille provides a protective barrier that helps prevent debris from damaging critical front-end components.
