Looks Good

How's the overall fit and finish compared to oem?

Looking at the pics of the grill on ebay it has a hole in honeycomb towards the bottom, what is the cutout for?

Fit is great material is definitely cheaper than oem but not bad the ram letters go screwed on from the back and plastic that screw goes on cracked a little so I epoxied those areas and put screws back in with a washer so it secure hole is for the camera if you have one I didn’t so it stayed like that you barely notice it. The only issue I’m having is where to connect lights with these trucks not to many options. From what I’ve heard it either the trailer park lamps but it’ll only work at night and fuse f66 in cab which did not work at all for me

Thanks for the info. I did LED lights in my rebel grill and for me I ran a wire to back of the rear bumper and taped into the running/parking lamp of the trailer connector. I had installed the Curt t-harness for my tailgate bar so I used t-tap into curt harness but you t-tap into trailer harness. It took all of 15 minutes and ran the wire along the driver frame rail and HD into place with zip ties.

I like my Rebel grill but must admit I like this grill more. Just wondering if the slightly different look of the rebel is worth the $. Decisions, decisions

Only when lights are on, if you want them on all the time the ignition is on you can tap into F38 using a add-a-fuse.

I was saying my grill led's come on only when the parking lights are on, if you want your grill led's to turn on all the time"ignition on" then you can run wire wire and go into F38 using add-a-fuse.
