tubular grills

I am wondering what grills are available for Superduty trucks. I have seen inserts that go over, or onto the existing grill. Which look great from a distance, but up close are just plain cheesy. You can see the old grill, not good. I would like to put a color grill surround on, similar to the sport grill but with a stainless or chrome tube inset in the center.

Thanks!

the trick to the J&J insert billet tube grill is painting the factory grill either flat black or Gloss black before you attach the insert. Or you can cut the factory grill off totally and put a Stull billet grill in.. I have a T Rex billet grill in my 05 350 but not sure if they make em for previous models.

the tubular grills (i think putco makes them too) are unique but i sold mine for a stull billet grill.

i know what you mean about the old grill behind it. i cut mine out with my dremel tool and i'm working on installing it as soon as my truck comes back from paint next week (i hope).

there are a lot of grills out there and believe me they all dont look the same in quality so be careful

a new trend in these grills are all ABS plastic grills painted chrome. the bars are thick and are only about 11 billet like bars tall for the entire grill. theres also a new ABS grill with a chrome bar in the middle of it with small billet like bars on top and bottom.

you can find these on ebay as well.
