DIY: Badgeless Grille
For those who are interested in removing the front emblem and keep the look of the factory grille, this mod is for you. It's easy and very inexpensive.
Tools: hand saw sand paper epoxy Step 1: Have a fellow Titan owner give you their grille scraps from their grille mod. Only the outer grilles scraps are needed for this mod.  Step 2: Cut out emblem from your grille.   Step 3: Cut out the usable portion from the scrap pieces. I split it into 3 pieces.  Step 4: Attach the 3 pieces to your grille.    *I haven't glued the pieces to the grille yet. I'll post the pics when finished.

Re: DIY: Badgeless Grille
Not to hi-jack your thread by any means, you did an awesome job! And I may find myself doing the same, but I'll probably have mine painted dark red to match my truck!
I've always liked the honeycomb grill and on my Dodge I took it one step farther, I spray painted mine chrome. I was going to go chrome plated, however the chrome spray paint was more "natural" to the gray color of my Dodge. I did two coats of chrome, then a fine clear coat to protect it. It lasted through a tough winter and many offroad trips in Jersey and still looked as good as the day I did it! Before:  After:   |

 hot rod style...I have to pick up a new grill surround because if I don't I'm sure to screw it up, but if I have 2 it's assurance all will go according to plan. I like to try and circumvent Murphy's law when I can!

Re: DIY: Badgeless Grille
home depot or lowes I believe.......
also, some ceiling manufactures have begun to offer this mesh as a ceiling tile material but that gets a little pricey.

Re: DIY: Badgeless Grille
I think the mesh grille was purchased at Lowe's or Home Depot. I bought 3 pieces. Just remember to paint both sides of the mesh grille. I painted only one side and now the other side is rusted.
