Construction & Design

The grille is expertly crafted from premium stainless steel, chosen for its strength, durability, and resistance to rust and corrosion. The polished finish not only provides a mirror-like shine that enhances the vehicle’s front-end styling but also offers long-lasting protection against the elements. The billet design features horizontal bars that create a clean, modern look while allowing optimal airflow to the radiator and engine bay.

APS has engineered this grille to be a direct-fit replacement for the lower bumper section, ensuring a seamless integration with your Dodge’s factory styling. The overlay installation method requires drilling, which allows for a secure and stable mounting that withstands road vibrations and impacts.

Performance & Sound

While primarily an aesthetic upgrade, the APS billet grille contributes to improved engine cooling by increasing airflow through the lower bumper area. This enhanced ventilation can help maintain optimal operating temperatures, particularly during demanding driving conditions. Although it does not directly affect engine sound, the improved airflow may indirectly support consistent engine performance.

Installation & Fitment

The APS Polished Stainless Lower Billet Grille is designed for a precise fit on 1997–2004 Dodge Dakota and 1998–2003 Dodge Durango models. Installation is straightforward but requires drilling into the lower bumper to securely mount the grille. The package includes all necessary hardware and a detailed installation manual to guide you through the process. Basic hand tools and mechanical aptitude are recommended for a successful 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.
