Factors that influence grille price
- Material. There are many materials grilles are made of. A plastic snap-on grille is the easiest way to jazz up the exterior of your RAM 1500. One-piece aluminum grilles are also relatively inexpensive. When you pick stainless steel with polished exterior or go with a custom-painted grille, get ready to pay more.
- Design. There are many grille designs available for your RAM 1500. Billet, mesh, laser-cut are just some of the options you can find online. The more sophisticated and custom the grille design is, the more expensive it’s likely to be.
- Brand. There are many quality grilles that will not break the bank. Think of APG, ACC or certain other US brands that offer hundreds of grilles at fair prices. Pay attention, though, that as a rule, these inexpensive grilles do not contain a grille frame. If you pick one of these guys, you will be using a new grille with a stock frame. Mid-priced yet quality and nice grilles are offered by T-Rex and E&G Classics. These two brands offer many custom grilles. If you are looking for something exquisite, look at Diamond Grilles, DJ Grilles, and certain other manufacturers that offer a truly custom approach. Though, get ready to pay a higher price for the custom product.
- Finish. When you pick a simple polished aluminum billet grille, this upgrade for your RAM 1500 is not likely to break the bank. However, if you are looking for a custom satin finish or more expensive coating, the grille will cost more. As a rule, polished stainless steel grilles are more expensive, than black powder coated ones. However, stainless steel grilles are backed up with a better warranty, than the powder coated ones.
- Origin. If you think of getting a purely US-built grille for your RAM 1500, keep in mind, that it will cost 30 – 50% more, than the similar grille made overseas and delivered to a US-based shop. The price difference is usually not because of quality or materials. It is more expensive to run a manufacturing facility in America than outsource manufacturing process overseas.
