Default F-sport Bumper - Stock Grill *PICS*

I wanted to try the F-sport bumper with the stock grill as I'm not a huge fan of the 'mesh' style grills. The only thing that needed trimming was the lower grill...other than that it's a straight swap!

Looks great! I may go this route as I don't want to spend extra money on the f sport mesh grills if I don't have to. What all did you trim from the lower grille? Is it still secure even after the trim?

It is very secure...you don't have to trim much off at all..maybe 1-1.5"

oh ok. Then I may just do this then. So do you have an F sport GS and you just swapped out the grilles or did you do a F sport conversion?

Give Colin over at Hurst Collision a call. He is in Spring and does amazing work. He was a sponsor on a Dodge truck forum I frequent and many of the members used him and highly recommend him.

Thanks AJLex19! Yes I plan to get one but I'm scared that when any of my family members get behind the wheel they may end up getting too close to the curb and ripping it off trying to park. If I don't pick up a new vehicle soon then I will as it's usually just me driving the GS, but if the GS gets passed down to my sister then the GS is F$#ked. lol I did however get a new roof spoiler which i plan to install today.
