Does anyone have any idea's, pictures of any grills for the 1997-2003 era Dakota/Durango other than the "TIRED", "BORING" "Cross-Hair" design that Mopar has been using for a lifetime "it seems"...??

I've seen the horizontal billet style, the screen mesh, the honeycomb look but it still has the "cross-hair look to it.....

The grills without the cross hair make for a very bland truck. Look on ebay for examples, there are LOTS to choose from.

Thx. Have gone through endless e-bay ads to see what is available but nothing really jumped out at me. That cross-hair design has been around for decades and just never really did it for me and pretty much explains my attraction to my Mopars that do not have this design..... I'm looking to shake up the look of my R/T truck. The picture that I posted is not my truck but one I am using as reference.

Why not just cut the cross-hair out and add the filler you want? You know do some old fashioned customizing.

have thought about that also but just cannot think of anything that I really like. Leaning more towards a horizontal billet tubular look though....

Sorry, nothing helpful to add. To me, with Rams or Dakotas of this vintage, without the crosshair grill, it ends up looking too much like....

When I had my 02 Durango I had an aftermarket grille from Street Scene, like a honeycomb style. I liked it and it really made the front look good , sorry I don't have any pictures.

Here's one.

Better....but the first thing I thought of when I saw it was Buick or a Ford Ranger grille? I wonder what it would look like black to match the truck....???

This looks like your only other choice?

I like the stock grille the best or the cervini grille like in my sig.

Saw a grill on the net that looked like a 71 Cuda front. I'm sure it was one off but looked good. It could of been a photo chop.

I think you are right.....your picture looks about like this truck grille does......it just has a bad smell to it....
