Construction & Design

The grille is expertly crafted from premium stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting durability and resistance to rust and corrosion even in harsh weather conditions. The black finish is applied with precision to provide a tough, fade-resistant coating that maintains its appearance over time. The riveted design not only enhances the grille’s visual appeal but also reinforces its structural integrity, making it a robust addition to your truck’s front fascia.

Engineered as a direct replacement for the factory upper grille, this APS product features a recessed center vertical bar that adds depth and dimension to the front end.
